"I agree with it. I like Fallon playing in the World Championship to be honest with you, she's good for the game. She'll sell tickets, she creates a lot of interest and she's very good for the ladies game," said Taylor to Online Darts.

"If there was a player that was going to lose a place, I would've felt sorry for him but apparently there isn't so I'm chuffed. The pressure is on her now that's the problem, now Fallon's under pressure and she can take the pressure."
