Wright turns to wife Jo during post match interview: "Stop going in the hospital"

Peter Wright sealed a straight sets win over Mickey Mansell in a straight forward start to his PDC World Darts Championship campaign.

Wright who is defending champion has had a testing few weeks with wife Jo in and out of hospital but she was in attendance and 'Snakebite' said the news is good.

"It's good for Jo to be healthy," said Wright on Sky Sports. "We only found out last Wednesday that she was getting better and isn't going to be in the hospital every day and that was just a relief off my shoulders."

"Thank you Jo for being well," he added looking at his wife. "Stop going in the hospital. I've got to put a tree up and I've got to get the Christmas dinner ready and I've got a few sets of darts to try out for after Christmas."
