Emma Paton dubbed as ‘completely beautiful’ throughout opening night time of Darts World Champs

Emma Paton was dubbed as “absolutely gorgeous” as she hosted the opening night of the Paddy Power PDC World Darts Championship on Sunday evening at the Ally Pally

Sky Sports host Emma Paton has been dubbed as “absolutely gorgeous” by fans on the opening night of the Paddy Power PDC World Darts Championship.

Paton was on hosting duties at the Alexandra Palace as Luke Humphries headlined the opening night of the 2025 edition of the tournament. However, some fans were more focussed on the host’s attire, as she was dubbed as “absolutely gorgeous” on social media.

The host wore a figure-hugging black dress with some tights as she guided fans through the evening’s action. And one fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Emma Paton on my screen, darts are back life is good!”

“Anyone else slightly in love with Emma Paton,” a second said. While a third shared: “Emma Paton, goodness me…”

“It’s Christmas so that means the absolutely gorgeous Emma Paton is back looking so stunning,” a fourth posted. And another added: “Emma Paton back on the tv for a few weeks life is good again!”

Thibault Tricole and Joe Comito opened up the evening in a clash that lacked any really quality at the oche. Tricole would, just about, dispatch of Comito, earning himself the prize of a second round match with Humphries later in the evening.

Jermaine Wattimena continued his rich vein of form as he dumped out Stefan Bellmont with ease before Keane Barry overcame Kim Huybrechts in the pick of the evening’s action.

Cool Hand never really had to move out of first gear in the final game of the evening – hardly throwing his best darts, but still winning nine sets on the spin to send The French Touch packing on night one.
