IT’S the world darts final but the real checkouts will be missing from Ally Pally.

The pair have joined forces for a special 2020 calendar – their last one together – and it has been flying off the shelves.
Chesterfield’s Allfree said: “We have missed the walk-ons but the job itself has opened lots of doors for myself and Charlotte.
“So we are keeping busy and hoping for a successful New Year.
“People have really got behind us since the ban, which has been incredible.”

Michael van Gerwen and Peter Wright will play each other for the £500,000 first prize.
Following the PDC’s decision to axe the walk-on girls, the pair went on This Morning, where Charlotte revealed: “It’s a very enjoyable job and we feel very honoured to do the job.”
Writing for SunSport Daniella revealed how she was ‘gutted’ to not be involved in the championship.
She said: “I’m absolutely gutted I will not be working at the PDC World Darts Championships.

‘it wasn’t a mid-life crisis’
Micky Flanagan says he needed a couple of years off to reflect on his next move
“It feels really strange not being there. I’m still involved in the sport, attending many darts exhibitions and presenting for Live Darts TV. I love the sport.
“Taking the walk-on girls away was a really bad decision from a viewers’ point of view. The walk-on remains a big part of darts.
“We brought fun and personality to it. Darts is a show and by removing us it has definitely taken part of that away.”
