Ronnie O'Sullivan has ventured into content creation by launching a YouTube channel, the snooker legend announced on social media.
The seven-time world champion shared his plans on X, stating: "Finally gone and got a YouTube channel...
"I will be uploading all sorts here from some of my favourite shots and matches to me cooking to me meeting and chatting to some interesting people. Hope you guys enjoy it!!"
The 49-year-old's announcement promises diverse content beyond snooker, including culinary videos and conversations with notable figures.
Ronnie O'Sullivan has revealed he is entering the world of YouTube
ReutersHis 564,000 followers responded enthusiastically, with one commenting: "Subbed already. Can't wait for more content. Good luck!"
The YouTube launch follows a challenging period for O'Sullivan, who barely competed during the second half of last season after breaking his cue in anger at the Championship League in January.
He subsequently withdrew from the Masters, which he was defending, and several other tournaments before returning at the World Championship with new equipment.
Despite reaching the semi-finals at the Crucible, O'Sullivan struggled with his form and made the unusual decision to replace his cue's tip and ferrule during his 17-7 defeat to eventual champion Zhao Xintong.
"I don't even know if it was the cue, the ferrule or me," he said afterwards.
Currently, the channel contains minimal content. When visited on Wednesday afternoon, only one video was available showing O'Sullivan completing a 147 break during practice in Saudi Arabia before the World Championship.

A clip of his historic 1000th professional century from the 2019 Players Championship final, which he had initially shared when announcing the channel, appeared to have been removed.
The sparse content contrasts with his ambitious plans for the platform, though fans remain supportive. One follower joked: "Ronnie O'Sullivan cooking must be Fast Food!"
The channel launch coincides with significant life changes for the Essex player.

O'Sullivan revealed plans to relocate from the UK to the Middle East following his World Championship exit.
"I think I'm going to be moving out of the UK this year. A new life somewhere else," he said, adding: "I'll still try and play snooker but I don't know what the future looks like for me really."
The player, who operates a snooker academy in Saudi Arabia, acknowledged uncertainty about his future in the sport.
"I might be back in six months, who knows?" he said, noting there were "more important things in life to worry about than a game of snooker."
