Fallon Sherrock twelve months ago produced a moment that will go down in darting history at the PDC World Darts Championship when she shattered the glass ceiling and defeated Ted Evetts.

Since then, Sherrock has become a household name and despite not qualifying for this years' tournament, 'The Queen of the Palace' admitted she never expected her life to change as it has.
“I never ever thought my whole world would change like this," said Sherrock to SunSport.
“I knew I was more than capable of winning. I went up there and played my own game.
“But I never expected afterwards for people to look at me and think, ‘You’re a role model. You’ve proved anything can happen’.
“I was just Fallon, who played darts, and supported the youth. Now I was getting so many messages, people saying I was an inspiration.
“It was so lovely and I’m so proud. It was an incredible experience.”
