Darts star’s X-rated response to Emma Paton after Luke Littler query
The World Darts Championship is set to kick off – with Sky Sports presenter Emma Paton already causing a stir
Nathan Aspinall branded darts pundit Emma Paton a ‘f****** k******’ after she wound him up with a fabricated Luke Littler spat. The World Darts Championship is poised to begin with numerous household names stepping up to the oche during the festive period.
Paddy Power gathered several of these darts stars for an unconventional YouTube interview format. Rather than standard questioning, pundits Paton and Mark Webster delivered their own bizarre and outlandish queries via a hidden microphone to bamboozle the participants.
Aspinall was among those targeted, being quizzed about his supposed ‘rift’ with World No.1 Littler – something that was completely made up.
Reacting to the claim, the Asp said: “I fell out with Luke Littler? That’s the first I’ve actually heard [of that]. [I spoke with him] about two days ago I think.”
When the interviewer insisted that Littler had said he and Aspinall weren’t on speaking terms, the Englishman replied: “To you?” before adding: “Well, that’s the first I’ve heard.”

The PDC World Darts Championship gets underway on December 11 and fans can watch every match exclusively live with Sky’s Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle.
Once Paton and Webster had enjoyed their prank, they revealed themselves to each of the World Darts Championship competitors, with Aspinall’s response being particularly memorable.
Paton said: “We’ve been telling him to say stuff,” prompting the 34 year old to reply: “You f****** k********! K********! So funny!”
Aspinall faces Lourence Ilagan in the opening round of the World Darts Championships, hoping to progress beyond the semi-finals and claim the title.
If he encounters Littler in the lead-up, it’s fair to say that the Englishman will be scrutinising his relationship with the world No.1 if he fell for Paton’s fabricated tale.
