After the conclusion of his 10-5 win over Fan, UK Champion Allen told BBC Sport: "I think I was the last person in the whole arena to work out what was going on because I was focused on the shot I was about to play.
"I heard a bang, that I thought it was on the other table and then I turned round and there was a woman on my table.
"It could have been a lot worse - you saw what happened on the other table and how much disruption it caused.
"It was a surreal moment but I feel like even talking about it is giving them airtime they don't deserve because they are just idiots. What are they trying to gain from what they have done? I am sure there are better ways to get their point across."
Speaking on the BBC Red Button, at the time of the incident, seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry said: "I have never seen that before at a snooker event. It's a first.
"It is scary. Wow! You just hope the cloth can be recovered from that. It caught us all by surprise and then this happens.
"For me, straight away as a snooker player I am thinking: 'Is the table recoverable?' We don't know what that is on the table."
