A Just Stop Oil protestor who disrupted the World Snooker Championships has been revealed as politics, philosophy and economics student Edred Whittingham. The man from Cambridge made headlines for a protest during a key match at the Crucible on Monday night.
Play was stopped during a first round clash between Robert Milkins and Joe Perry as the Exeter University student climbed onto the snooker table before releasing orange chalk in to the air. He was then led away by security, reports the Mirror.
A secondary protestor, 52-year-old Margaret Reid, attempted to mount the table on the other side of the arena but the former museum worker from Cumbria was stopped.
