Snooker legend Jimmy White lied about his age when he first dated former Miss Blackpool… 22 years his junior
Jade Slusarczyk claimed she did not realise he was famous when they met at a tournament in her home town
JIMMY WHITE lied about his age when he first dated former Miss Blackpool - who is 22 years younger than him!
The 56-year-old claimed he was 35 when he met Jade Slusarczyk at a snooker tournament seven years ago.
The beauty queen claimed she did not realise he was famous when they met in her home town at Snooker Shoot Out.
According to the , she said: "He told me he was 35 when I met him.
"I didn't even know who he was or that he was famous."
White suffered with a serious drug addiction throughout his career, which reportedly set him back around £10,000 a month.
But the six-time world champion finalist has thanked the former darts walk-on girl for helping him to kick his bad habits.
'HAVE BEEN TAMED'
He said: "I haven't been a raving lunatic, truthfully, for 25 years. The thought of the weekends I used to have now makes me shake.
"We go out and have a drink occasionally. We're quite happy to go for a nice meal and go the theatre or something.
"We'd rather waste the hours that way instead of getting s***faced."
"She'll tell you I'm like an old fart now. I have been tamed."
The Englishman, nicknamed The Whirlwind, insisted he was attracted to the beauty queen as soon as he set eyes on her.
But they both had partners at the time and remained as friends until they started dating 18 months ago.
He said: "I had this special feeling straight away when I met Jade. You have this instinct.

"Some people think it's b*******, but it's not. When I first met her I thought she was fabulous inside and out.
"I had an instant buzz for her. I never thought anything would happen, but having been friends initally we finally got together all these years later.
"People are always going to talk about the age difference, but we don't care. We know we're all right. Her family like me. Everything's good."
