The video featured a series of comedic and “romantic” moments, with Wilson taking the trophy on a beach date, sharing a cup of tea, eating spaghetti, and even tucking it into bed.

Fans loved the lighthearted tribute, flooding the comments with praise for Wilson’s sense of humor. Many reassured him that this wasn’t a final goodbye but merely a short break, encouraging him with messages that he’d soon have the trophy back in his hands.

The World Snooker Championship kicks off in April, giving Wilson the opportunity to defend his title and reclaim the coveted trophy. If successful, he would become the first player in the modern era to retain the world title after winning it for the first time.

Meanwhile, snooker legends Ronnie O’Sullivan and Stephen Hendry remain the all-time record holders, each boasting seven world titles.
