Luke Humphries has received an invitation from British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to visit 10 Downing Street, after winning the World Darts Championship. 'Cool Hand Luke' took the world title last Wednesday by defeating Luke Littler 7-4 in the final.

Humphries first of all already received congratulations from Prime Minister Sunak via social media, but was also allowed an audience last Friday. The 28-year-old Englishman spoke with the Conservative leader about his world title win, also giving Sunak a small darts clinic.
