Laura Woods as well as the supporting cast of Luke Littler, Luke Humphries and football icon Duncan Ferguson were left in disbelief as she hit treble 20 to win a game of darts against Humphries alongside Littler.

The ITV host has a past of darts having hosted the PDC World Darts Championship previously for many years on Sky Sports until Emma Paton became the new face of the sport on the platform post Dave Clark's retirement.
But there's of course a difference between talking about the sport and presenting it to playing it. But she even left herself stunned. She pitched a game of darts to the pair of Humphries and Littler who came to the set as part of the build-up to Wednesday night's World Cup action.
Humphries and Littler join ahead of New York title tilt
Humphries and Littler are in town anyway and will play in the US Darts Masters at Madison Square Garden over the next two days. Woods and Littler paired up and went for Humphries and Ferguson in a pairs match.
The latter duo of Humphries and Ferguson went first setting the target to beat. After an underwhelming first three darts, Woods was told she needed 42 to win the match. She hit the treble 20 first time to win it and she was left in disbelief hugging Littler and Ferguson.

Littler not missing much after England game
Littler, a known huge football fan was asked if he had watched any of it and he said he caught some of the Ghana goalless draw only for Woods to joke that he didn't miss much if he did as they struggled against their group stage opponents.
For Littler and Humphries, it is a Canadian and American tonight as they face David Cameron and Leonard Gates, the popular dancing showman in the first round at Madison Square Garden. But it will be the leading darting duo aiming to put on a show and not lose like Humphries and Ferguson did to Woods and Littler.

- Don't worry Vinman, England will not be in the final.richieburnettrocks16-07-2026
- Ultimately, Vin man knew when to call it quits. Barney was excellent and one of the greatest darts player ever, but he just doesn't have that ability anymore. Vinman working in media is only saying what he thinks and I like how he doesn't sugar coat things and is completely honest and direct with his comments. Vinman will probably agree he wasn't really on the same level as Barney in their respective heydays.richieburnettrocks13-07-2026
- I agree that this season the format was a bit stale, it would be better to have some new faces rotated in through the season. I also think they should vary the format a bit as it doesn't count for rankings, they could have different varieties of 501 (e.g. double start) or just different challenges.mikedarts03-07-2026
- I don't really understand why its an issue that Littler doesn't play in the events, they are barely televised so there is no draw for marketing and it gives the other players a better chance to define their narratives. The events are more of a throw back to old events. I agree that the format should be looked at, I don't know why they don't do a more interesting format or vary it through the season to improve interestmikedarts03-07-2026
- This shows they have the prize money structure wrong then (and OoM as a result). Put more £ into the floor, less on the TV and you'll attract more players to attend more often.BandB03-07-2026
- He's admitted his mistakes. He won't be the first or last player to get sent down,or take drugs. I honestly didn't like the lad,but at least he's owning up to his issues. So,good luck. In whatever he decides to dorick6702-07-2026
- Not everyone wants to watch pub players throwing 70 averages for about £500. Premier League is indeed a cash cow, but it does its job of promoting the game. This new suggestion for changes is one of the better ones. Even better if everyone knew what they had to do to qualify and it isn't just a walk-on popularity contest.StraightArrowNoBull01-07-2026
- I have a suggestion,scrap the whole thing. It's a pointless cash cow for anyone in the top 10.rick6730-06-2026
- Well nobody made him bet!! It's his own fault,if wants to lose money,then he shouldn't call Gerwyn out! He averaged 103,I would think the losing betting idiot could average 40! If you don't want to risk losing,keep your money in your pocket!rick6728-06-2026
- A great female line up this year, it would be nice to see Gemma win, but Beau is too good. Although the most important lady is missing....Lorraine Winstanley! You can't have a major tournament with out Lorraine Winstanley!! My dream is to see Lorraine hit a nine darter, run off the stage and out of the building with Dean.richieburnettrocks25-06-2026
