Shaun Murphy revealed he has undergone gastric sleeve surgery to help him lose weight and revive his snooker career after becoming fed up with being “fat-shamed” on social media.
The 40-year-old went under the knife in May for a procedure which has removed 80 per cent of his stomach and he says makes it almost impossible to put weight back on. He has since lost four stone and believes that being leaner can help him find more success on the table after struggling in recent times.
