Snooker ace Shaun Murphy says seagull stole Terry's Chocolate Orange from hotel

Shaun Murphy produced his customary magic at the Welsh Open on Tuesday, but insists he wasn't then responsible for his Terry's Chocolate Orange vanishing.

Instead, the 2005 snooker world champion was left fuming after claiming a seagull stole his sacred snack, plucking it from the window ledge of his hotel room. And the incident ruined an otherwise perfect day for the world No 11, who in the morning had beaten Victor Sarkis 4-0 at Venue Cymru in Llandudno.

Last summer, Murphy had life-changing gastric sleeves surgery, with 80% of his stomach removed to limit excessive food consumption, having been plagued by weight struggles throughout his career. But whilst his eating may be limited, clearly 'The Magician' still enjoys a sweet treat or two.
