Huybrechts scolded by wife of Peter Wright after he tries to surprise young fan with video message from idol

Kim Huybrechts had a good weekend in Wigan, including two Euro Tour qualifiers, but his mood was disrupted by the apparent behaviour of Peter Wright's wife.

Players are allowed to bring a guest to the Pro Tours. Huybrechts wanted to bring a 10-year-old boy, who celebrated his 11th birthday on Monday, to see the behind closed doors action. But that was not possible. ''(His) dad forgot his id (and) wasn't allowed in'', said the Belgian.

Huybrechts wanted to surprise the boy in a different way. He wanted Peter Wright to record a video message. His wife, however seemingly made it clear in no uncertain terms that Snakebite was not going to cooperate.

However, the tweets later disappeared from his channel. ''Sorry everyone had to remove my tweets.. was getting a very clear message…. Of course I do as I am told…. ''

One day later, the two-time major-finalist came out with a new message. ''Wanna make something clear, it was my intention to give a young kid a nice birthday. It’s never my intention that people use abusive terms towards anyone, and I would like to state I don’t support any form of abuse ! No matter what the situation is!''
