Steve Davis, once known as ‘Mr Boring’, has dramatically shifted careers from snooker champion to techno DJ. This transformation comes alongside a scandalous affair and a high-profile divorce.
Davis dominated snooker in the 1980s, winning six world titles. He was married to Judy Greig in 1990 and they had two sons together. However, his life took a turn when he had an affair with 19-year-old dancer Cheree Palla while he was 39.
Following the affair, Davis and Greig separated in 2005 after more than a decade together. The fallout from this relationship led to public scrutiny and media attention.
Yet, Davis found new passion in music. He has worked as a DJ since retiring from snooker and co-founded the electro group The Utopia Strong. He has performed at notable events such as the Glastonbury Festival.
Davis has amassed an estimated net worth of approximately £26.5 million throughout his career. He accumulated over £5.6 million in prize money during his snooker days.
Despite his past, Davis remains candid about his experiences. “I wasn’t a politician; I was a snooker player,” he said. “I didn’t lose much sleep over it in the end really.” His perspective on life continues to evolve.
As for his future in music, Davis remains optimistic but acknowledges the unpredictability of life: “You just don’t know what is going to happen.” His journey reflects both personal growth and professional reinvention.
