Stephen Hendry said he was “fined” by snooker bosses after he had to “pull out” of events due to his appearance on The Masked Singer.
The seven-time world champion, 54, was revealed as the character Rubbish on the ITV celebrity singing show on Saturday.
Asked by the PA news agency what he told people he was doing while keeping his identity a secret, the former world number one said: “I do have wildcards to play in some snooker events and I actually pulled out of a couple of events and got fined by the WPBSA (World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association) for doing it.
