"At the time I was doing a lot of exhibitions and everything else with Paul Booth and he said I've got a great song for you. I listened to it and thought great, so a couple of weeks later I was playing Premier League and we went to Newcastle. People booed and I thought hold on I'm not used to this, I didn't realise it was Middlesbrough's walk on song. Then it followed me for a couple of months after that," said Lewis to Sky Sports.

He also spoke of his best atmospheres he has encountered on the PDC Tour.

"Premier League probably. Dublin, that's definitely up there. Manchester and I got a great reception in Liverpool when I hit the nine-darter."

Best Walk-On on tour

As well as the walk-ons that in his mind are the best. "That's a tough one. I think Van der Voort's is brilliant. I like Sweet Caroline, MVG as well that's quality. The favourite one has to be Mr Brightside (Nathan Aspinall)."
