While discussing Wu Yize's World Snooker Championship triumph on the Snooker Club podcast, co-host Stephen Hendry threatened to walk out
www.mirror.co.ukHere are the latest updates I can share based on recent coverage:
Wu Yize won the World Snooker Championship, narrowly defeating Shaun Murphy 18-17 in the final at the Crucible, claiming his first world title. Stephen Hendry commented on the moment publicly and joked about Wu not surpassing eight world titles, a nod to Ronnie O’Sullivan’s ongoing record discussions. This framing comes from multiple outlets covering Hendry’s lighthearted reaction and Wu’s big moment.

Ronnie O’Sullivan has publicly backed Wu Yize’s potential, predicting Wu could become world No. 1 within three years and win more world titles, based on his recent mentorship interactions and training notes. Wu acknowledged O’Sullivan’s messages as helpful for staying focused during the final stretches. [sources: Mirror on O’Sullivan’s influence; Express summary of Hendry’s reaction]
In related coverage, Hendry has been trending in snooker media for a mixed reaction during a recent podcast episode, where he briefly threatened to walk out over a misinterpreted BBC remark, a moment that coincided with Wu Yize’s title run. This moment amplified the attention on Hendry’s ongoing pundit role with Mark Watson and the Snooker Club discussions. [sources: Mirror and Express recaps; WalesOnline report]
