The incident occurred early on in the clash soon after Wilson took an early lead.

The players were taken from the table for ten minutes as the unwell spectator received treatment.

Thanks to the fantastic work of medics, the woman was able to walk away from the Venue Cymru in Llandudno.

A statement from the WST read: "The lady who took ill in the crowd was able to walk out of the arena safely, and will hopefully be okay.

"Credit to the brilliant work of security here at the venue."
