Sherrock spoke in the studio after drawing Steve Beaton, a true legend of the game and was excited and privileged to face The Bronzed Adonis who usually a fans favourite will likely have the crowd on his back for the first time.
"It's a very exciting draw, isn't it? I'm really excited because again I get to play an iconic person in the sport and I'm really privileged to play that and I'm excited to see what happens," said Sherrock.
"I could have had Raymond (van Barneveld) or Adrian Lewis, so I'm happy with my draw."
The winner will face Kim Huybrechts and she discussed how the next few weeks will go before she heads to the Palace.
She added: "My preparation now is going to be set play, practising on my finishing because I know I can score. It's just tightening up the darts a little bit more on my scoring and try and get that set play back because at the moment I've not had a chance to play set play. It's just getting the mentality back for that in the next couple of weeks.
"I'm just so excited. I want to hear the roar again and feel the electric atmosphere. I've had great memories from there so hopefully I can relieve it all."
