WATCH: 2-year-old becomes TikTok 'mini snooker pro' sensation

Two-year-old Jude might be younger than your typical snooker player, but his remarkable talent has already earned him a sponsorship deal and viral fame online.

The toddler from Manchester, in the UK, has made history as the youngest snooker player ever to be sponsored.

Introduced to the game by his father, Luke, Jude has been turning heads on TikTok with videos showcasing his impressive potting skills. One of his earliest clips has racked up over 10 million likes, helping grow his Instagram account, @Judey147, managed by his parents, to 19,000 followers.

To help him play, Jude uses a custom stool to reach the table, and his snooker bag always includes the essentials: his cue, chalk, dummy, and warm bottle.

His dad describes him as "very sporty, energetic, and always on the move", showing a love for sports from a very early age.
