Sherrock on hustling people in the pub: "I love it and then I say Google me"

Fallon Sherrock has had to learn to deal with life in the spotlight after her exploits at the PDC World Darts Championship two years ago.

Ahead of her return to the scene of her emergence, she discussed having to deal with going from being a normal 27-year-old from Milton Keynes to being a global star.

“When it first started happening,” she said to The Guardian. “I just got thrown in at the deep end. I had to learn how to deal with it.”

“I’m scared of what I might see,” she continued on social media. “I’ve come off all the darts groups on Facebook. Otherwise I’m just sitting there looking and then I’ve wasted three hours.”

But also on the other hand comes another side with Sherrock revealing she hustles people at the pub who don't know her or what she has achieved.

“Sometimes. Not all the time. Sometimes when I’m at the pub, people will ask if I want to play a game of darts and if they don’t know who I am I’ll say I’m not very good.”

"I last did it a couple of months back. But before lockdown I used to do it all the time. Just for a fiver. Or a drink. And then they go: ‘Oh, you’re actually quite good.’ And then I say: ‘Google me."

With potential Premier League inclusion coming, it is Q-School though at the forefront of her mind as she looks to back up her on stage form.

“I don’t doubt I can make a massive dent in the tournament,” she continued. “But if I don’t get a tour card, then at least I can play on the [second-tier] Challenge Tour and develop my game a bit more.”
