Manage episode 456320704 series 3595337
World Champion darts player Luke Humphries joins us in the studio less than 24 hours after kicking off Day 1 of the PDC World Championships at Ally Pally! Luke opens up about his unexpected rise in darts that started as a teenager, led to him giving up the sport as a young adult, to then go on to beat Luke Littler in last year’s Worlds.
Luke opens up about his anxiety, including handling major anxiety attacks on stage, and the time an ambulance had to be called. We play a game of “who’s the most…” where he shares his brutally honest opinion of his fellow darts pros. The behind-the-scenes of a darts champion's pre- and post-match routines leaves Alfie with more questions than answers. Plus we come up with a brand new celebration that Luke promises to do if (when) he wins!
Luke shares how much money he’s earnt and his future plans for his fortune, secrets we don’t know about the official trophy, and the one small change he made that took his skill to the next level. We dive deep into his life off the oche too, including his weight loss transformation (dropping 4 stone in just 6 months), his unlikely celebrity mates, and how his job before becoming a pro darts player left his physically scarred.
