A resurgent Murphy battled through tough tests in Gary Wilson, Neil Robertson, Mark Allen, and finally, world holder Kyren Wilson in the showpiece on Sunday to claim his second Masters crown – his first coming 10 years ago in 2015.
It was this mention of Ebdon – whom snooker icon White then admitted he had also signed up to work with – that saw Murphy disclose the ‘in-house’ game of The Traitors that was supposedly being played among those working on the Eurosport panel, and the 62-year-old’s treacherous ways.
Masters champion Shaun Murphy exposed Jimmy White as a ‘traitor’ with a behind-the-scenes version of the hit BBC show The Traitors supposedly being staged at Ally Pally.
“Before the partnership with Peter Ebdon, which is only three tournaments old – I totally lost my self-belief,” Murphy admitted to Eurosport.
Speaking after the victory, he accredited such success to fellow former world champ Peter Ebdon, who he has only recently started working with to great effect.
