Snooker star, 50, leaves fans disgusted with 'dreadful' takeaway post-match meal after UK Championship win

Snooker star Mark Williams has left fans flabbergasted and dismayed - and perhaps slightly jealous - after sharing a photo of his post-match grub. 

The three-time World Champion uploaded a snap of his chips and kebab feast, complete with dollops of sauce, after dispatching David Gilbert 6-4 in the UK Championship.

He is quickly becoming known for sharing his divisive culinary adventures, which he claims have left him 'not that thin'. 

And his latest effort, which he munched after finishing up at the Barbican in York on Sunday evening, has sparked a strong response on social media.  

'My hiatus hernia just kick in,' said snooker coach Neil Selman on X. 

'I love a kebab... but that is the worst bab I've ever seen,' another said.

'That looks dreadful. Is that a mullet fish straddling the container? Even by 'Rate My Plate' standards it is a shocker,' one commented. 

'That kebab meat looks like it was shaved off the bottom of boss man’s flip flops,' one said. 

'I’d be lame with gout after that mate,' another wrote. 

Some found it more appetising. 'Food of champions,' one brave soul said. 

This isn't the first time that Williams has dropped fans' jaws with his choice of meal.

Back in October one supporter jokingly branded him a 'dirty b******' for a kebab box lathered in sauce but others hailed it is 'tremendous' and a 'dream'.

Over the summer, there were four dougnuts covered in chocolate and sugar which, like the others, drew a line between people. 

People can joke all they like but Williams is one of the finest snooker players of his generation.

He won World Championships in 2000, 2003, and 2018. 

The left-handed Welshman is now aiming for a third UK Championship title, with his previous triumphs coming in 1999 and 2002.
