Piers Morgan has slammed the Ultimate Pool Group after two transgender women contested the final of a professional women's event in Wigan on Sunday night, calling the situation 'preposterous' and accusing the sport of 'cheating bulls***'.
The broadcaster's comments came after Harriet Haynes defeated Lucy Smith 8-6 in the final of a Women's Pro Series event, one of eight events on the Ultimate Pool Group's 2025 women's circuit.
Both players are transgender, resulting in a wave of criticism on social media - most notably from former Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies, who described the event as 'b****y ridiculous and grossly wrong in every way' and said sports 'hate their female players to do this'.
Sharing an X post from Reduxx Magazine, which claimed 'two men' were facing each other 'for a women's championship title', Morgan added: 'Why anyone supports this cheating bulls*** is utterly beyond me.'
The tournament, held at Robin Park Leisure Centre in Wigan, was streamed live on UltimatePool.tv and across social media.
Haynes' path to the title included victories over Megan Proctor and Mary Talbot, while Smith reached the final by knocking out Kirsty-Lee Davies and Danielle Randle.

Is this swimming or billiards???????
I bet you could see their units.
As I’ve said before, men like these two players are HEROES in my book. THE RULES, baby THE RULES, are the problem, not the people who play by those rules. And they best way to get the rules fixed is to do EXACTLY what these two men just did.
From our side, we should not complain, but we should be throwing THE RULES back in their face, explaining that these two men followed THE RULES, so anyone complaining about the men, particularly women, are complaining about the wrong people - the right people to complain about are the ones in charge of THE RULES.
They are not women...when will we stop saying that...
I checked out the link. Took one for the team. It is billiards. And the men pretending to be women are quite ugly, revolting actually.
I saw this coming years ago with the first “transgendered athlete,” just waited patiently for the inevitable to happen. Won’t be long now before we have 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies in a woman’s support handed out to three males.
But hey, if a SCOTUS justice can’t say “a woman is an adult female,” how can we expect ANYBODY else to know what a woman is.
Both players really know about sinking balls
Remember, way back when we were young, us boys would brag about being “male lesbians”, and how ridiculous that whole discussion was?
Now they really do believe that they are such creatures.
No more life imitating art.
And the sooner the boycotting starts the better.
Heroes? Hardly.
“Heroes? Hardly.”
Think “Rosa Parks”.
I’m going to assume that the pretend-women have been playing pool for a long time, and much of that time as men. How well did they do competing against other men?
Thanks...
