Darts fans get hidden look behind the scenes as Sky Sports show rarely-seen moment before World Darts Championship final
DARTS fans preparing for the World Championship final got a rare treat – usually hidden from viewers.
Sky Sports showed Michael van Gerwen and Luke Littler in a closest-to-the-bull battle to see who would throw first.

And the set-up was not what they expected.
Away from the glamour of the Ally Pally oche, it was a behind-the-scenes shoot-out.
Van Gerwen was nearest to the centre – meaning he’d have the first throw in the main event.
Not that it helped him much – as the Nuke immediately broke him.
