Stephen Hendry on The Masked Singer
Stephen Hendry was fined by snooker bosses after appearing on ITV The Masked Singer. The snooker legend said he was hit with a financial penalty when he was forced to “pull out” of events due to his stint on the Saturday night ITV show.
Stephen, aged 54, was revealed as the character Rubbish on the ITV celebrity singing show on Saturday. He admitted after: “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.
“And I couldn’t tell them why because this recording was going on and I couldn’t obviously say why I pulled out… I just said ‘Look, I can’t play the tournament’. So, yeah, it was, very, very, very strange… you’re dying to tell people what you’re doing but you can’t.”

He added: “I have been asked to do the other reality shows, but the thing that appealed to me about this one obviously was the fact that you are in a costume. Nobody can see you. And obviously (there is no) stress – this is not a singing competition, it’s just a show that you just go in this costume and have fun.”
Hendry said: “(Mark) just brought this out of me, which I didn’t know was in there, so it was really incredible and surprising to find that… I’m not saying I’m a great singer, but I’m better than I thought I was. He messaged me after Saturday night and joked the Christmas album was on the way, but, yeah, just joking. Look, that’s not going to happen.”
“The main theme was ‘I can’t believe you did that. I can’t believe you did that and I can’t believe you kept it quiet’,” he said. “My son texted me and said ‘I’ve watched the show every week. I love it. I can’t believe you’ve done that’.
“He didn’t even have a clue so the feedback and the reaction was incredible.”
