Hellmuth has been an ever present in the previous three series but has had very mixed results in the popular show. As Hellmuth himself stated, “I am looking forward to playing in the Premier League and starting the new decade off on the right note! After being points leader in the Premier League in 2006, 2007 and 2008 I was relegated, and it is time to step up and claim a title”.

Hellmuth’s performances in last year’s Premier League were dismal with only one win and two 6th place finishes in his six heats. However, while he may be inconsistent on the table Hellmuth is ratings gold for Premier League producers Matchroom Sport with his entertaining outbursts, blow-ups and table talk. It’ll be interesting to see how he gets on in 2010’s show after taking a lot of criticism for his lack of success throughout 2009.
