Steve Beaton is usually a fans favourite but 'The Bronzed Adonis' for likely the first time in his career could face a chorus of boos for the first time when he takes on 'The Queen of the Palace' Fallon Sherrock at the PDC World Darts Championship.

Beaton is the most experienced player in the field and will begin his 31st consecutive appearance against Sherrock, who captured the imagination two years ago and also recently at the Grand Slam of Darts.

He discussed this past week how he will combat the tie and how he is feeling going into it.

"I'm just going to treat is as another game, I'll treat Fallon like any other player," Beaton told The Darts Show Podcast.

"I'll be going up to win, to give myself the best chance of doing that I've got to get my head in gear and play my own game.

"Fallon is very good on the stage, she proved that at the Grand Slam with her averages so I know I'm going to have to average at least in the mid-90s to win.

"I might get a few boos I suppose but I'm looking forward to the atmosphere and the fans being back at Ally Pally.

"Historically I'm not the quickest of starters in games but I'm hoping this year I can get off to a good start to quieten the crowd.

"I've had a few boos before. One year at the World Grand Prix in Dublin I was playing one of the Irish lads so it will be nothing new to me.

"Its just part of the game. I might put ear plugs in, I don't know yet."
