The iconic PDC World Darts Championship has become one of British sport's favourite times of the year and is on the verge of returning with a huge new audience. The showpiece event, held between December 15 and January 3, is traditionally watched by millions at home and takes place at a packed Alexandra Palace with Luke Littler's rise attracting new eyes.
Fancy dress, plenty of chanting and multiple pints are the norm and 'Ally Pally' will turn green this year as Paddy Power continues as the competition's sponsor. Stars such as Littler, reigning champion Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen, Raymond van Barneveld, Gerwyn Price and Michael Smith have become household names and a new champion is set to be crowned.
But, what is life like for the people behind these players and their WAGS?. Here, Mail Sport takes a look... Luke Humphries is hoping to retain his title after becoming world champion in January. Luke Littler's rise has attracted thousands of new supporters to the well-loved sport.
One darts star is married to a former walk-on girl and has been with her since 2015. What better place to start than with the reigning world champion and what a year it's been for the 29-year-old who in May celebrated his engagement to Kayley Jones. The pair have been long-term partners and 'Cool Hand Luke' decided to pop the question in a 'perfect moment' overlooking the New York City skyline earlier in the year.
