Devastated. Nige was one of the first members of the @skysportsdarts family I met and he couldn’t have made me feel more welcome. Love you Nige, you will be so missed. Sending love and strength to your family ❤️

Heartbroken to lose you, Nigel. He was the best man, cared so much for his colleagues and was so, so passionate about his work. We met working on speedway in 2009 & he was an ever present support to me, be it on the darts, at talkSPORT & so much more. Will miss you ‘matey’ x

💔 shocked as well as so saddened. Before I joined @SkySportsDarts he always had kind words of encouragement for me. He believed in me and I will never forget that. He was a great broadcaster and lovely man. A tremendous loss for darts 🥺 Thoughts are with his nearest and dearest
