‘What the f*** are you doing’ – Luke Humphries reveals moment he got angry with fan while playing Luke Littler
LUKE HUMPHRIES admits he got angry with a fan for constantly abusing him with the C-word.
The World No1 is back on the big stage again tonight in the Bahrain Masters.
But well-spoken “Cool Hand”, 29, has revealed on Jaackmaate’s Happy Hour podcast that he was shocked by a loudmouth fan when he played Luke Littler last year.
He said: “I think it was a Premier League actually. I was playing Luke (Littler).
“I remember one guy. I can’t really say the word on camera. Quite horrible to be honest, saying the C-word quite a lot. Just calling me it all the time.
“You’re a C, you’re a C… constantly trying to put me off all the time.
“I kind of looked out to him like ‘what the f*** are you doing’. Like grow up you’re 30, 40-years-old.
“I looked out to him and said grow up mate. Can you imagine your 12-year-old son’s dad out there screaming, shouting and swearing at a dart player.
“I could expect that from a 15-year-old kid, not a 40-year-old man.
“That was nothing to do with Luke, that was just a guy wanted him to win. I’ve had it before from other players.”

Humphries lost his world title after being beaten by Peter Wright at the Ally Pally last month.
But the classy star also admitted that the crowd abuse does get to him on the stage.
He added: “I’m up here trying to give you a great game and you give me so much abuse, it’s not nice in a way.
“You are on the back end of stuff like that and it does put you off. Then you are thinking you don’t want to be up on the stage anymore.
“It’s not an environment I want to be involved in. You can’t wait to get off.
“It kind of confuses me how people come to the darts and just want to put people off.
“We are talking about a two or three per cent. When you come to darts isn’t it best to see players just ripping it up, playing brilliant.”
