An OnlyFans model disrupted the World Snooker Championship final on May 3, 2026, at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. Sasha Swan shouted against the BBC licence fee during a match between Shaun Murphy and Wu Yize.
The incident occurred during the third frame of the match. Wu Yize was leading 10-7 at that time. Swan’s protest drew immediate attention and controversy.
Sasha Swan yelled, “Who f—ing pays their TV licence anyway?” Her outburst caught spectators off guard. Referee Rob Spencer quickly intervened to prevent her from reaching the playing area.
Security personnel soon ejected Swan from the venue. The audience reacted negatively, booing her and applauding her removal. This incident added to a history of protests targeting snooker finals.
Key details:
- Sasha Swan has 36,000 followers on X.
- She previously stated, “Yeah it was me, I did streak the snooker with my team.”
- In 2023, a Just Stop Oil demonstration also interrupted a World Snooker final.
Murphy later reminded fans to keep their phones silent. He said, “Don’t be the person that has to be thrown out.” The disruption raised questions about security protocols at high-profile events.
The cause of Swan’s protest remains unclear. Officials have not provided further details regarding any potential charges against her.
