Sky Sports darts reporter Polly James has shut down trolls giving her ‘c***’ about her tattoos, claiming the abuse she receives goes completely ‘over her head’. A regular on Sky Sports’ coverage during darts’ explosion into the mainstream, James is now a familiar face to fans across the world.
Having interviewed the who’s who of the sport down the years, from teenage sensation Luke Littler to compatriot Gerwyn Price, James has built a reputation as one of the most respected reporters on the circuit. But despite her rise to prominence, some viewers still struggle to look past James’ tattoos and the 38-year-old, who hails from Wales, has continued to receive derogatory messages about her ink at this year’s World Darts Championship.

However, it appears such comments are water off a duck’s back to James, who cares far more about the quality of her reporting than fans’ opinions about her appearance. ‘I do get a lot of c*** about the neck tattoo,’ she told The Mirror. ‘More so now, but that is because there are more eyes on darts, but it goes over my head.
‘Say what you like about my appearance, I do not give a… but please don’t criticise my work, because that really hits hard and that generally doesn’t happen. ‘I get on with a lot of darts people, I am in such a privileged position to do what I do, but I don’t want to lose sight of what it is like to be a darts fan.
