I won’t let my dad Ronnie see his granddaughter

Snooker champ’s love child speaks out

WORLD snooker champ Ronnie O’Sullivan’s eldest daughter has vowed to never let him see his three-year-old grandchild.

Taylor-Ann Magnus, 25, was not among the 4.5 million enthralled TV viewers who tuned in to watch Ronnie triumph at the Crucible last week.

She hasn’t seen him since she was in her teens and told us: “He’s not part of my life. I wouldn’t want someone like that around me and my child.”

Taylor-Ann’s mum Sally-Ann Magnus dated Ronnie for two years in the 1990s but their relationship broke down.

Ronnie only met his daughter a handful of times when she was growing up. Taylor-Ann said: “I was 17 or 18 the last time I saw him and I forgave him within myself, although that doesn’t excuse what he did.
