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.”
Following that victory, celebrities flocked to congratulate Sherrock and she recounts the aftermath of this.
“It was insane. I went back to the hotel bar and had a coffee with my manager, Jason.
“We went over everything that had happened. I eventually slept for two hours before going on Good Morning Britain.
“Then we were straight to another place. I didn’t have time for food or drink. It was bang, bang, bang, until 10pm the next day. I was knackered.
“But I enjoyed every moment of it. I didn’t know if I’d ever experience this again.
“I spoke with Ted after everything happened. He’s been really supportive. He was a big moment in history, too.”

- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
