🎯 Wild scenes at the World Masters darts final last night! During the nail-biting match between Luke Littler and Luke Humphries, the crowd took a vocal turn, chanting a not-so-friendly tune about Prime Minister Keir Starmer! ITV had to jump into action, broadcasting fake crowd noise to cover up the chants. Their on-screen apology read: “We apologise for any offensive language.”
Fans at home were quick to catch on. One viewer hilariously compared ITV’s fast move to a “McLaren F1 pitstop.” It’s not the first time this chant has made a TV appearance; Sky Sports faced a similar challenge last year.
Despite the commotion, the darts action was intense! Littler, just 19 and already back-to-back world champ, clinched his fourth major title, narrowly beating Humphries 6-5. The young star’s run is nothing short of spectacular, proving he’s a force to be reckoned with. Humphries, meanwhile, showed incredible skill with a nine-darter on Saturday but admits Littler might just be “the greatest dart player to ever live.”
What a match, and what drama both on and off the stage! 🏆🎯 What do you think about crowd reactions at sports events? Let’s chat below! ⬇️
