Sky Sports Michael Bridge has interviewed sportsmen and women from a variety of different sports. Something he believes makes darts players stand out is their honesty.
"The beauty of interviewing dart players, even boxers to an extent, not footballers is they don't have a manager, they don't have a press officer next to them, they literally say what they think," Bridge explains to Emma Paton on the Love The Darts podcast.

"There are actually times as well when the interview is live straight after the match and their averages are up there but they aren't able to see it. I think it's an adrenaline answer sometimes," he concludes.
