Not because of his behaviour during the match, but because of actions on social media. Price launched a scathing attack on Durrant following the defeat on Night Ten of Premier League Darts.

According to RTL reporter Arjan van der Giessen, The Iceman's post wasn't very welcome in Duzza's team and with his manager Mac Elkin. Not only did Price's post spark outrage, he also liked a reaction ridiculing Durrant's Bell's Palsy.

'He (Durrant) went to Gerwyn during breakfast. Price did not flinch and refused to apologize. Then Durrant's team said we will file a complaint with the Darts Regulation Authority (DRA). Because we think this is absolutely not acceptable, '' Van der Giessen summarised the events of Saturday morning.

Later there was a statement of regret from Price. The two-time Grand Slam champion publicly apologised on Twitter for his behaviour.
