Stephen Hendry will be back on our screens this evening as part of coverage of tonight's Masters final.

Shaun Murphy and Kyren Wilson are going head to head for the famous trophy, a title Hendry, now 56, lifted a total of six times.

Hendry is one of the sport's greats and won five consecutive Masters titles between 1989 and 1993. He is now imparting his knowledge from the commentary box alongside the likes of Steve Davis, John Parrott, Ken Doherty and Dennis Taylor.

The Scot turned pro in 1985 at the tender age of 16 and collected seven world titles in total over the course of a stellar career.

With so many accolades under his belt, it's no wonder that he has an impressive net worth to his name. Hendry is reported to hold a net worth of around £13.5million.

Away from the green baize, he met his first wife, Amanda Tart, when he was 16 at Pontins. Having tied the knot in 1995, they have two sons together, Blaine and Carter.

But after 19 years of marriage, they divorced in 2014. Writing in his autobiography, Me and The Table, Hendry also detailed how he told his wife it was over.

"Driving back from a shopping trip, my wife Mandy asks me what’s wrong," he wrote. "She assumes it’s money-related. I tell her it isn’t. Then she tells me to stop the car, saying that we’re not going an inch further until I tell her what’s going on.

"So I do. I tell her that I have feelings for someone else. She is shocked and devastated."

He moved on with children's entertainer and actress Lauren Thundow, who is 19 years his junior.

"I first met Lauren when she was selling merchandise after a Legends snooker exhibition," he added in the same book. "She's attractive and we smile at each other but I think nothing of it. Gradually, we start to say, 'Hi', and share a bit of small talk.

"I would never be one to go striding over to any woman who caught my eye – after all. I'm the person who got to know my wife's parents before I plucked up the courage to talk to her. As time goes on, we chat more often. It's becoming clear we have a connection."

Hendry revealed in a TV interview that the nature of being a professional sportsman meant he hasn't been the best father he would have liked to have been.

He said on the The Tommy Tiernan Show: “No, I probably haven’t been the best (type of dad) because in sport I think you make sacrifices to get to the top.

“Family and relationships can be difficult and can be sacrificed because I was all about being the best in snooker and snooker was all that mattered.

“So that makes you a very selfish person and I think it takes that sort of special person to get to the top in an individual sport. When you look at most top sportsmen who have dominated sports, most of them pretty much all are divorced or have been divorced.”
