RONNIE O’SULLIVAN is preparing to return to snooker after marrying Laila Rouass.
The couple rekindled their relationship after months apart and tied the knot in a low-key ceremony in Shadwell, East London.

They plan to jet out to Dubai to start a new life, with O’Sullivan keen for a bit of peace and quiet according to his manager Jason Francis.
The Rocket could feature at invitational event Shanghai Masters next month, says Francis, though he is likely to pick and choose which tournaments he plays.
Francis told The Express: “Ronnie’s moved out to the Middle East for a while. You’ll probably see him first in Shanghai. He’s had a little break from the UK.
“You’re talking about someone who can’t go to the shop without being asked for a selfie, a photo. Where he is, he’s finding life a little bit quieter at the moment.
“Ronnie’s Ronnie. He’ll decide when he wants to play and everyone knows he can come from nowhere to win a major tournament.
“You won’t see Ronnie play a full schedule [this season] but I think you’ll see him try and properly prepare for the tournaments he plays in.
“He’ll still be the sport’s most commercial player in the short-term. Whether Zhao Xintong or [Judd] Trump can pick up that mantle now as we transition… Ronnie will be 50 in December, people have to remember that. They still expect him to turn up and win everything.”
O’Sullivan, 49, missed large parts of last season as he was not happy with his form and technique.

He snapped his cue at the Championship League in January and did not play on tour until the World Snooker Championship in April.
O’Sullivan had a rocky patch away from the table too as he moved out of the home he shared with Rouass in Chigwell, Essex.
The Sun first revealed they had ended their engagement last September after his hectic work schedule pushed them apart.
However, the time apart gave them time to think about what they want — and that is being together, a source told us.
O’Sullivan and Rouass first began dating in 2012 and were engaged a year later.
The snooker legend told fans: “We finally made it official!! Mr & Mrs O’Sullivan.”
