Fallon Sherrock mocks ex Cameron Menzies with cheeky dig after table-punching outburst
Fallon Sherrock appeared to mock ex-boyfriend Cameron Menzies with a cheeky gesture during her PDC World Darts Championship match at Alexandra Palace following his recent on-stage outburst
Fallon Sherrock seemed to playfully tease her ex-boyfriend, Cameron Menzies, during her first-round loss to Dave Chisnall. Sherrock stepped up to the oche on Thursday night for her first-round match at Alexandra Palace, but was defeated 3-0.
Just a few days prior, Menzies also faced a first-round defeat, losing 3-2 to Charlie Manby. The 36-year-old made headlines when he uppercutted a table on stage three times following his loss to Manby, causing a deep cut in the Scot’s hand.
Menzies later issued an apology for his actions. Sherrock and Menzies had been together for over four years before parting ways, their relationship having started during the pandemic.
In her match against Chisnall, Sherrock appeared to gently rib Menzies by pretending to shake the table on stage as she headed towards defeat.
Sherrock smiled as she made her way back to the table, before pretending to grab the table and shake it. She lost her first-round match at the World Darts Championship 3-0 to Chizzy on Thursday night – averaging 84.83 before exiting the competition at the first hurdle.
Menzies issued an apology following his actions earlier this week in a statement posted on social media.
“First of all, I would like to apologise for what happened. I’m sorry that I reacted in the manner that I did,” Menzies wrote. It isn’t an excuse, but I have had a lot of things on my mind recently, and I suppose that all just became too much at the end.
“It has not been an easy time for me with my uncle Gary passing away recently. I saw him four days before he died, and he gave me a look which told me how much he thought of me.
“Had I won the game against Charlie, then my second-round match would have been on the day of Gary’s funeral and that hasn’t been lost on me.
“Let me say again, that’s no excuse for what I did on the stage. It was the wrong thing to do and I don’t want it to take anything away from Charlie. He played well.
“This is not how I would like people to view me. Yes, I can get emotional at times, but not like that and that wasn’t right.”
PDC Chief Executive Matt Porter also released a statement after the incident, where Menzies was offered the full support from the darts organisation. “I spoke with Cameron and his management before he left the venue, and he knows there is support available from the PDC and the PDPA,” Porter said.
“Any incident of this nature is reported to the Darts Regulation Authority for a review. But, our main priority is the player’s health and wellbeing.”
