RONNIE O’SULLIVAN produced an “answer nobody was expecting” as he named the most famous person in his phone contacts.
Last year's winner is preparing to defend his title and make history with a record-breaking eighth World Snooker Championship crown this month.
The 47-year-old overcame Judd Trump in last year’s final and equaled Stephan Hendry's modern-day record.
And he made the ideal start to this year’s tournament at the weekend as held off qualifier Pang Junxu to seal a 10-7 victory.
He will now face Ding Junhui or Hossein Vafaei in the second round.
As part of the media duties for the event, O’Sullivan and his fellow snooker stars took part in a Tik Tok Q&A where they were asked about the biggest celebrity they had as a phone contact.
