Snooker World Champion Ronnie O’Sullivan has revealed a surprise guest that he wants as his next opponent after winning yet another world title. 

O’Sullivan beat Ding Junhai 10-7 on Saturday to win a record-extending eighth UK Championship.

The win made him the oldest ever UK Champion, at 48 years-old, and means he now holds the record for both oldest and youngest winner of the competition.

O’Sullivan beat Stephen Hendry in 1993 to claim his first ranking title aged just 17 and has since record 22 Triple Crown triumphs and 40 ranking titles. 

However the snooker legend has his sights set on a sporting crossover after he cheekily challenged footballer Jude Bellingham to a game of snooker.

Bellingham recently posted an image on his Instagram holding a snooker cue, sparking a tongue in cheek reaction from O’Sullivan. 

The 48-year-old offered a jokey response, saying on his own Instagram story: ‘*Watches half an hour of the Ronnie doc*.’

‘Let me know if you fancy a game,’ he added with a wink emoji, with Bellingham replying on his story with a handshake.

O’Sullivan was referring to the documentary titled ‘Ronnie O’Sullivan: Edge of Everything’  that he released on Novemeber 23rd. 

The hour-long film documents his rise to the top of the snooker game and also sheds light on some of his struggles with mental health. 

 It is yet to be confirmed if the two stars of their respective sports will actually play a game, but the unexpected crossover would surely be surprising. 

Bellingham continues to shine in Madrid and has now knotched 16 goals in 18 appearances for Los Blancos. 

His league record, standing at 12 goals in his first 14 games, meaning he matches numbers set by Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo Nazario and Robert Lewandowski. 

England and Real Madrid midfielder Bellingham is breaking records after an electric start to life in Spain.
