Mines just got worse I've been diagnosed with leukaemia I'm devastated. I know he had faults and weaknesses(we all do) but he was one of the games greatest ever characters,I'll miss him.' Former snooker and Strictly Come Dancing star Willie Thorne has died in hospital in Spain after suffering 'septic shock' following respiratory failure.The 66-year-old was surrounded by his children - who told him how much he was loved - at Torrevieja Hospital, near his rented Alicante flat, when he died at 1.55am.Thorne, who announced he was battling leukaemia in March, was taken to hospital last week with dangerously low blood pressure and was put on a ventilator in an induced coma on Sunday.His carer Julie O'Neill said on a GoFundMe page he was not responding to treatment - including three types of antibiotics for three different infections - so doctors decided to 'turn off the machines'.The sporting legend, who was married to former Miss Great Britain Jill Saxby until last year, was first admitted to hospital on May 2 and had three blood transfusions, treatment for a virus, MRI scans and heart checks.Ms O'Neill wrote: 'I was with him all the way to his end and reading out messages to him from people. 'Fellow BBC presenter Gabby Logan posted: 'So sad to hear about the death of Willie Thorne. RIP Willie.
"The popular Thorne made his professional snooker debut in 1975, reaching a career high ranking of No7.And he was also a well-recognised voice on BBC's snooker coverage, having made appearances since the 1980s.Throne was married to former Miss Great Britain Jill Saxby but their 24-year marriage came to an end in 2019.Thorne leaves behind three children of his own and two step children.
"The Good Morning Britain host wrote: "RIP Willie Thorne, 66. 'Thorne, who was born in Leicester on March 4, 1954, only started playing snooker at the age of 14 but within two years had been crowned national under-16 champion.Swiftly turning professional, he came to be regarded as one of the sport's finest break builders, and would go on to become only the third player to secure 100 competitive centuries.Thorne reached his first of two World Championship quarter-finals in 1982, where he pushed the eventual champion Alex Higgins, and three years later, just three months before his painful loss to Davis, he won his first and only world ranking title, beating Cliff Thorburn to lift the Mercantile Credit Classic.But Thorne was already struggling with a gambling addiction, and his run to the UK semi-finals in 1987 - where he was crushed 9-2 by Davis - represented the final major success of a generally unfulfilled playing career.Thorne revealed the extent of his gambling issues in an interview with the Guardian in 2004, recalling an incident in which he placed a bet of £38,000 on John Parrott losing a game, because he had lost his cue.Thorne was commentating on the game for the BBC, and admitted: 'I put £38,000 on Parrott to lose because he didn't have his cue, but he ended up winning the bloody game.

Lineker, who played snooker with Thorne on many occasions, tweeted: 'Deeply, deeply saddened to hear that my friend Willie Thorne has passed away. The Great WT. Despite Hendry's extraordinary sporting success and multi-million-pound winnings, forensic accountants have tried – and failed – to find any trace of a fortune, leaving his perplexed wife, the mother to his two sons, devastated and, she claimed, destitute.Scottish former professional snooker player Stephen Hendry was the undisputed king of snooker, seeing off established players such as Jimmy White and Steve Davis while barely out of schoolAmanda – who shared his life for nearly 30 years, 19 of them as his wife – told The Mail on Sunday in an exclusive interview: 'I thought we had the perfect marriage and I trusted him more than anyone in the world.

RIP Great One. Great snooker player & a wonderful character. Spent lots of time with him in Sheffield, and came back with so many funny, but unrepeatable stories. 'The story is all the sadder as in his book Hendry, 49, revealed the child they lost in 2003 had been an IVF baby – something Amanda hadn't even shared with her own family.His bald statement of hoping to have a strong relationship with their two remaining sons, Blaine, 21, and Carter, 14, left her seething as she claimed he had seen them rarely since he walked out of the family home in December 2013.The nature of the sport and his incredible success – seven world titles, his first in 1990 aged 21 against Jimmy White – meant he spent long periods away from home as his sons were growing up.But the knowledge a professional sportsman's career is time-limited, coupled with frequent promises that they would all spend time together once he retired, saw Amanda managing everything at home without complaint.Hendry met Lauren Thundow, a former children's entertainer almost half his age, when she was selling merchandise after a snooker exhibition.
He passed away very peacefully and without pain listening to his children saying they love him that gives me some comfort in this difficult time. Hendry was living with Miss Thundow in Berkshire.Jimmy- nicknamed 'The Whirlwind' for his aggressive, rapid style of play- has put his hellraising days behind him. 'Retired Wales captain John Hartson posted: 'Sad to hear that Willie Thorne has passed away, was with him just before the lockdown he was in great form.. thoughts and condolences are with the Thorne family. 'He had the X-Factor on one of the screens, then he switched to Sky News, then we're live for the final and it completely threw me because I didn't know where we were or where to look,' recalls Doherty. Jimmy 'The Whirlwind' White added: 'Rest in peace Mr Maximum man. 'Jimmy famously never won the World Championship, losing six times. He was friends with the retired footballer Gary Lineker, which was the subject of the VHS production, Best of Friends – The Official Story of Gary Lineker & Willie Thorne. It was the second time he had tried to kill himself, having swallowed a half empty tub of sleeping pills in 2002 and later waking up in Leicester Royal Infirmary.His lifestyle led to health problems and he had a mild stroke in 2010, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in June 2015, followed by another stroke in the September.The icon revealed in a tweet on March 18 this year he had been diagnosed with leukaemia.
