Imagine the scene. A mobile phone rings THREE times as you were chasing the biggest title of your career. This person clearly refused to switch his device off after each ring. You'd be furious, right?

Plenty of us reading this article would have reacted in anger, but Kyren Wilson's words of wisdom have gone viral this afternoon during the Masters Snooker final against Northern Ireland's Mark Allen.

Here's what happened when the 26-year-old, from Northamptonshire, heard the constant distraction from the crowd. Respect.

Wilson beat favourite Judd Trump with a spectacular comeback at the Alexandra Palace earlier in the week, and he will be looking to produce another shock in the Masters final.

In another act of class, the 26-year-old mentioned the late Paul Hunter after his win against Trump.

"People keep calling me 'The Warrior' and I thought to myself, 'I haven't won a comeback in years, I'm going to stick in there and, this venue, funny things can happen here'," Wilson said via the BBC.

"The late, great Paul Hunter made some awesome comebacks and I was thinking of him a little bit and trying to draw a little bit of inspiration from some of the comebacks he made and I just managed to stick in there."

Here's how Twitter reacted to the fact that Wilson was distracted by a mobile phone during the important match:
