Barry Hearn OBE, President of Matchroom Sport, has been arrested and jailed in Bristol on Wednesday, alongside former World Snooker Champion Stuart Bingham, tour pro Jamie Jones and Master of Ceremonies Rob Walker.
The quartet will only be released if much-needed funds are raised for Jessie May Children's Hospice at Home.
On Wednesday morning, the quartet were arrested and handcuffed by Avon & Somerset Police outside Bristol Temple Meads, thrown into a van and taken into custody at Bridewell Police station.
Throughout the day, they will be making appeals via social media to raise money for bail.

Jessie May nurses provide palliative care throughout a child's life, extending their support to provide bereavement care for families following the death of a child.
