Here is what happened on the show today….

Evening Echo, By James Colasanti
Stuart Bingham says he can not wait to get stuck into next season despite his heart-breaking exit from the World Championship.  The 34-year-old, who lost a thrilling last 16 encounter with world number four Ding Junhui on Monday night, says he remains confident he can still break into the top 16 after completing his best-ever campaign.  The Vange resident was in good spirits as he drove back from Sheffield yesterday, and said he was keeping a close eye on news that Stephen Hendry is considering retiring from snooker.  And if the 42-year-old Scot does quit, that will move Bingham from 17th to 16th in the rankings, and automatically qualify him for a number of tournaments next season.
