Snooker player Jimmy White came 3rd in 2009’s ITV show I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. White came 3rd behind Kim Woodburn and winner Gina D’Campo. White became great friends with Hollywood actor George Hamilton.

White was required to undertake many Bush tucker trials which gave great enjoyment to all the viewers.

Due to the small food portions, White emerged from the jungle reportedly 22lbs lighter after only 22 days in the jungle in Australia.
We look forward to seeing what activities our snooker stars get up to in 2010!

When Neil Robertson beat Ding Junhui in the Final of the Grand Prix, he became the most successful player outside of the British Isles with his most recent prize money of £75,000.

As Birmingham Billiards previously reported Robertson beat Junhui 9 – 4 in the final, this was Robertsons fourth ranking tournament win.

Robertson admits “I was 10 grand in debt back home with people that I owed money to who had funded my trips to world amateur events and stuff like that.”

Robertson is on a career high as he is named third in the Provisional World Rankings.

Robertson talks of his success saying “I came to Cambridge with £500 in my pocket and the only thing was just to survive so I had enough money to come back the next year. “It’s just amazing to come through all that because I haven’t really had that much financial backing. It’s just an amazing feeling from having nothing to coming through all this”

Birmingham Billiards wishes Robertson the best of luck in his future.

Do you have any comments on Robertson’s success you would like to share with us?
