SNOOKER star Stephen Hendry has admitted driving a taxi while drunk in Bangkok – after being dared to by his friend.

Hendry, 39, said it was "the craziest thing" he had ever done, it was reported today.

He said he had paid a taxi driver in Bangkok to let him get behind the wheel after being dared to do so by fellow snooker star Mark Williams.

The seven-times world champion then drove drunk along Sukhumvit Road – Bangkok's main thoroughfare.

He reportedly said: "Looking back, I laugh, but if anything had happened, my God, I don't know."
