No chance I’ll dance this time… not in the final!

Kyren Wilson has promised there will be no more dad dancing on the Road to the Crucible, writes ROB MAUL.

The reigning world snooker champion boogied into the Telford International Centre on Friday night ahead of a 6-5 semi-final win over Neil Robertson at the Players Championship.

It was a moment of levity for the crowd, who were then treated to a classic – Wilson trailed 4-1 but then responded with breaks of 116, 57, 89 and a match-winning 134.

Yet Wilson has assured SunSport there will be NO repeat of his dance moves in today’s final and over the next six weeks – as he aims to break the Crucible Curse.

Wilson, a father of two, said: “I was trying to have a bit of fun, it’s a Friday night, people pay good money to come and watch us play.

“I want people to tune in and laugh and smile at my expense. I don’t mind making a fool of myself every now and again.

“Social media is such a massive platform and that’s a viral dance. I know for a fact there are people who are not necessarily snooker fans but who tuned in to watch that.”

He added: “It was inspired by a viral moment by American rapper Kendrick Lamar at the Super Bowl.

“But I am quite capable of switching off from funny mode to serious mode. I won’t do it for the final, absolutely not. I like dancing in nightclubs but just won’t do it for the final.”
