"I can't wait for this because it's back to normal. It's a fantastic feeling to be involved and part of it again. Obviously I'm trying to defend my trophy but it's back to different cities, different stadiums and I'm looking forward to this," said Clayton to Live Darts.

"Lifting that trophy and the crowd had only just come back in, I'll never forget that."

On returning to home soil, he is savouring the thought of being announced as defending champion.

"Back in Wales in front of my home crowd. I cannot wait for this atmosphere.
