Stephen Hendry was fined by snooker bosses after pulling out of events to appear on The Masked Singer.
He was revealed as the character Rubbish on the ITV celebrity singing show on Saturday.
What happened?
The seven-time world champion, 54, said he couldn't tell snooker chiefs why he pulled out of events.
He just said 'Look, I can't play the tournament' due to the show's secrecy.
The WPBSA, which manages snooker tournaments, fined him for pulling out.
Why it matters for Stephen Hendry
Hendry agreed to take part in The Masked Singer because he loves the show and would be anonymous.
He had only done karaoke in China before, so he enlisted singing coach Mark De-Lisser to help.
De-Lisser brought out a hidden talent in Hendry, who performed My Old Man's A Dustman.
What comes next?
The episode that unmasked Hendry drew an average audience of 4.3 million viewers based on overnight ratings.
There was a peak of 5.1 million viewers, according to ITV, on Saturday.
Hendry's phone went 'crazy' with messages from family and friends after the reveal.
His son texted him, saying he had watched the show every week and couldn't believe his dad was on it.
The feedback and reaction were incredible, Hendry said.
He performed Kaiser Chiefs' classic track Ruby, which was a hit with the audience.
Hendry joked that a Christmas album was not on the way, despite De-Lisser's teasing message.
The Masked Singer returns on Saturday at 7pm on ITV and ITVX.
Hendry's appearance on the show was a surprise to his fans and fellow snooker players.
He kept his identity a secret until the big reveal on Saturday.
The show's format allowed Hendry to have fun without the stress of a singing competition.
He enjoyed the experience and was happy to have been a part of it.
Hendry's love for The Masked Singer was evident, and he was thrilled to have been on the show.
