MYSTERIOUS: Snooker ace shaun murphy sends strictly come dancing plea to bbc chiefs in a heartbeat | Mind Blowing Facts

Sequinned snooker ace Shaun Murphy has issued a ‘come and get me plea’ to hit BBC show Strictly Come Dancing.

Former world champion Murphy, 40, ended a three-year title drought with a sparkling exhibition of scoring power to win the Players Championship on Sunday. The Magician, sporting some spangled strides, rattled in five century breaks against Ali Carter in a 10-4 win in Wolverhampton, making it a record 11 in the event.

And as he waltzed to victory Murphy also ensured he pocketed another record as well as the £125,000 first prize – the five highest breaks of the tournament, earning him another £10,000.
