It wasn’t a dream. Honestly woke up every hour through the night to keep checking the trophy was still there.
So proud of my performances this weekend. I would just like to thank all the fans, my family, management and all my sponsors. Without you guys this would never be…
With a day off yesterday I was lucky enough to get tickets for the Munich v Dortmund game. Really enjoyed the experience of my first live Bundesliga match.
The ultimate professional. Gonna miss your 180 calls mate. Have a great night tonight. Your voice has been listened to and enjoyed by millions. Such a great achievement on your longevity in our sport. I wish you well in all your future endeavours. X

10 years ago today I picked up the World Championship Trophy, a moment in my career that I will always be proud of, an achievement that I will never forget.
Little did I know at that point this would be the conclusion of a very successful time for me within the BDO as the PDC…

Wow. Amazing. Talk about smashing the glass ceiling. Darts is really on the up and a credit goes to all the hard workers behind the scenes too, not just the players. No doubt tonight’s final will be an epic encounter and I for one can’t wait to watch it. May the best player win…

Last night didn’t quite go how I had planned but I shall take the win. Always difficult playing one of your good mates.
The crowd last night were amazing and helped to drag me over the winning line.
I’m second on stage tonight against Luke Humphries, if you’re in the crowd…
Thank you to the 🇧🇪 crowd this afternoon who were obviously shouting for Mike but was so respectful during the game. Hopefully they can switch their support and get behind me tonight.

A day out at the zoo after a bad day at the office. Never be upset if you lose. Learn from it and go again. My family is my priority now and then back on the practice board in a few days. X thanks again for all your support guys. X
Currently watching the darts from isolation. I wish everyone involved the very best of luck. Gutted I can’t be there but health comes first. I’ll be back bigger and better guys. This will hurt but I promise you all it will make me more determined.

As he leaves Minehead, Stephen Bunting can take a lot of positives away from his thirteenth consecutive UK Open appearance.
For only the second time ever the Liverpudlian reached the quarter-final stage, only bettered by his run to the final four in 2015.
After his maiden PDC…
Gutted I ain’t there playing tonight but I will be back. Still no symptoms which is a great sign. Good luck to all players. I am enjoying the coverage in quarantine.

On reflection, though I was initially disappointed not to progress further, before the start of the last 2 tournaments I would have been very happy with a semi-final and quarter final.
