Hope you’ve all enjoyed the music piece that’s just gone out again in the interval. I found the observations of Professor Catherine Loveday 💙 super interesting! What walk-on music would you choose? I wouldn’t mind “Girl on Fire” by Alicia Keys. #bbcsnooker

This piece on mental health in snooker with the incredible Niall Breslin was really important. Happy to see it being acknowledged, talked about more and help coming from different angles (pun intended). #bbcsnooker #MentalHealth

Who will go through to the final? It’ll be a thriller tonight. 7pm #bbcsnooker

It’s final time 🤗 I bow to Hazel Irvine once more for the perfect intro. Just the best. Here we go! BBC Two. #WorldSnookerChampionship

So an artist (Glad the artist) came over to chat and asked me to “test” some paint in the Mercure last night. Random birthday drinks activity I know! I ended up creating this. Can anyone see what’s come out on the canvas? MARK WILLIAMS M.B.E Zhao xintong

It’s down to these two today. Who will sign my little card tonight? Zhao Xintong leads Mark Williams 11-6. BBC Two 1pm.

We’ve got an evening session. Mark Williams has taken frame 23 to go 15-8 behind. These last two frames of the session are HUGE. #WorldSnookerChampionshipfinal

What a moment 🇨🇳 The first Chinese World champion. History being made at the Crucible. Zhao Xintong beats Mark Williams 18-12.

What a tournament. What a winner.

If you saw Niall talking to me on the TV during the World Championship about mental health in snooker then don’t miss this. A fantastic insight into the struggles of top sportspeople like Ronnie O’Sullivan.
