For Abigail Davies, the 2024 German Darts Championship will always be remembered extra fondly. After all, the British TV presenter was proposed to by fellow darts presenter and commentator, Dan Dawson.
Initially though Davies was more than a little confused. "I think he bought this ring to propose to Steve Beaton but I'll take it…," Davies joked via her official social media pages. "Of course it happened at a Euro Tour."
Dan Dawson has become one of the faces of PDC darts in recent years
The 32-year-old presenter became extremely popular on social media recently. Especially after she openly comments about her own mental health and problems that she suffers from with anorexia. An expert at her craft however, Davies has used frequently by TV companies across sports such as darts, pool, football, snooker and more.
By the way, the German Darts Championship was the ninth tournament of the 2024 European Tour. Incidentally, for the aforementioned Beaton, it was the last European Tour tournament of his career, after he lost 6-4 to Dylan Slevin in the first round. Beaton indicated earlier that he will put a stop to his career at the end of this year, he did not manage to qualify for the last four tournament of the European Tour.
The win at the German Darts Championship went somewhat surprisingly to Peter Wright. The 54-year-old Scot had not performed particularly well this year, but finally showed signs of improvement last weekend. In the final he won no less than five legs in a row to beat Luke Littler 8-5.

- He wasn't "offered £501,000 to face Luke Littler". He was allowed to audition for the chance. That's not the same. Literally like saying I was offered a no.1 single, when actually I decided not to attend an open casting for the X factor.BandB13-09-2026
- I loved Jan and loved his walk on music "Explode" by Jordan & Baker. I think if he stuck around the BDO he definitely would have been World Champion, should have won in 2014, he never really showed any of his talent in the PDC. I remembered he worked in a bank or in finance and maybe that was his priority, he was also a fan and interested in magic. Definitely should have achieved much more in darts than he did. Wherever you are nowadays Jan, hope all is well and I was always a fan.richieburnettrocks11-09-2026
- Not much of a tournament really,is it? Now they've all pulled out,it's open for everyone. I'm sure if you bought tickets,you'd be disappointed. Doesn't that seem to bother the withdrawals? Not at all!!rick6710-09-2026
- Need to see her take part in the womens tour. She'll break the inernet.medinabello08-09-2026
- If he can be bothered? He won't play darts in Germany yet he'll go over and get an award!??rick6702-09-2026
- Why is this the main story? He chose not to compete in loads of tournaments,yes he's number 1 in the world,but he does have to turn up at tournaments! Play the next world championship in Dortmund and see if he turns up!!rick6727-08-2026
- This is exactly what I mean,littler survives the 1st round,I think you'll find a lot of other players did. Can you just report on the real sport,and not just 1 person. I like Luke,but this is getting boring now,as Kevin painter once said to Taylor!! The sport is about every player,not 1 who everyone seems to have put the sport on the map.,which he hasn't,he's just got in when the money is massive. Great as he is,it seems like what's the point in anyone trying,he's going to win everything,unless it's in Germany or Australia!!!rick6726-08-2026
- I mean look, Littler's picture is first,wattimena is second and he won! Level it up. I know littler is fantastic,but the sport was here before him,and will be when he's retired. Any player in the top 64/128 can beat each other,it's not big news. Poor Jermaine,wins it,and not even the headline!!rick6726-08-2026
- I appreciate that littler is a fantastic player,but the top 3 articles are about him. Before he'd thrown a dart in the tournament. Level it out a bit, Taylor and van gerwen soon got disliked as the media could only see them,and nobody else seemed to matterrick6725-08-2026
- The two-point Lucky Loser qualifiers are Ross Smith, Robb, Whitlock, Sakai, Ilagan and Toylo. Jermaine is not on the entries list on Dartconnect for the TCH qualifier so the four from the main OoM are probably Searle, Nijman, Dobey, Wattimena.Scoobedybop24-08-2026
