PAINT POTTY

Ronnie loves getting in amongst the colours

RONNIE O’SULLIVAN has been hailed as a snooker artist for decades – and now the Rocket has started to paint between matches.

O’Sullivan will look to give China’s Zhou Yuelong the brush-offtoday at the Cazoo UK Championship in York as he goes chasing an eighth success in the tournament.

The world champion has often been dubbed the ‘Potting Picasso’ for his genius on the baize but it is close pal Damien Hirst (inset) who has inspired him to try his hand at expressing himself on a different canvas.
