The 39-year-old was among Sir Salman Rushdie and Labour MP Sir Chris Bryant in being recognised with prestigious titles on Tuesday, just weeks after he lost the World Championship final. After the investiture, Selby said Anne admitted to tuning in for the game. Reflecting on his defeat to Belgian player Luca Brecel, the snooker ace said he was “disappointed” but that his previous wins had “softened the blow”. Selby first became professional at the age of 16 after winning the England under-15 championship in 1998. Since then he has claimed four world snooker championship titles and 22 ranking titles, placing him eighth on the all-time list of ranking tournaments.
