Jimmy White in X-rated rant not realising he was on air at World Snooker Championship

Jimmy White clearly didn't realise he was live on air when he began a foul-mouthed rant during the World Snooker Championship semi-final.

'The Whirlwind' has been working as a pundit and commentator for Eurosport, and has been on duty for the semi-final match between Ronnie O'Sullivan and John Higgins. And just after the match turned 5-5, he clearly didn't realise the television audience could hear him.

"I can't work under these f***ing conditions," he ranted. It was unclear what conditions he was referring too, but the comment was heard loud and clear on the coverage.
