Berry van Peer looked set to fully enjoy his final match at the Grand Slam of Darts on Monday night. 'Bionic' tried to get the crowd involved and meanwhile also made fun of opponent Josh Rock, who managed to win the game 5-1.
People in the audience seemed to be amused by the remarkable scene on stage, as they happily yelled along at Van Peer's gestures. On social media, however, there were many disapproving reactions to the Dutchman's behaviour, as they felt 'Bionic' did not seem to take it seriously.

"I think it's hilarious people calling me a clown," Van Peer wrote afterwards on his official X (Twitter) account. "I've lost 2x, I wasn't gonna go through anyhow. He was always number 1 in the group. What am i supposed to do?? Not have fun?? Great, I had fun, Josh and I had fun. I'm okay with it. I'm a clown, yes. Did I have fun? Yes."
Van Peer then explained why he wanted to have fun on stage. ''Six years ago I was full of emotion on stage,'' he alluded to his battle with dartitis during the 2017 edition. ''I've returned as a Challenge Tour winner. I've battled for years, showed how to keep fighting. I'm proud of myself I don't care about anyones opinions."

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
