Former world champion Kyren Wilson had his house burgled while playing in a snooker event in Leicester with thieves taking cash he was due to donate to charity.

Wilson, 34, has pulled out of the Championship League Snooker event as a result having won his opening match 3-0.

Among the items stolen from Wilson’s home were three watches, jewellery and £2,000 in cash for a children’s cancer charity.

Wilson said:, external “The offenders were captured on CCTV and stole several items of significant sentimental and financial value.

“They also stole £2,000 in cash that had been set aside as a donation to the BeMoreFab Children’s Cancer Charity, making this incident even more upsetting for our family.

“This has been a deeply distressing experience, not because of the value of the items alone, but because of the personal memories and meaning attached to them.”

Wilson won the world championship in 2024, beating Jak Jones 18-14 at the Crucible in Sheffield.
