Mark Allen surprised fans by revealing that he had been "thrown out" of the World Snooker Championship venue before he had played his opening match of the competition.
The Belfast potter is scheduled to play his first round tie against Scott Donaldson on Easter Monday. However, it seems he had already got into hot water with snooker officials before even fastening his waistcoat and taking his cue out of its case.
Allen took to his Twitter account to claim he had got into trouble after attempting to film the players as they walked into the arena for one of the sessions on Saturday. He posted to tell his 80,000 followers what had happened and to apologise for the lack of footage it appears he had intended to share with them himself.
