Mark Williams has given a graphic description of his condition after he was forced to make a dash for the toilet just five minutes into his match at the UK Championship. Williams took on fellow Welshman Jamie Clark on Tuesday but things did not go to plan for the world No. 6.
Five minutes into the opening frame, Williams was seen making a quick exit from the table by taking one of the earliest stomach breaks in the sport's history. As a result, the 47-year-old was struggling with a stomach illness which went on to have a huge impact on his performance.
After returning from his early dash, Williams returned to win the opener, before the Welsh pair exchanged frames to leave them deadlocked at 3-3 after six.
