Sky Sports presenter Emma Paton shares her journey from athletics to darts, including a playful proposal skit that has fans talking.
London: So, Emma Paton has been making waves lately! After weeks of exciting darts action, she’s become a fan favorite on Sky Sports. The PDC World Darts Championship is wrapping up, and it’s been a wild ride.
Tonight, Luke Littler is going up against Michael van Gerwen. It’s a big deal because Littler is trying to become the youngest world champion ever. Can you believe it? The tournament has had its fair share of surprises, too. World No.1 Luke Humphries got knocked out early, and Gerwyn Price didn’t make it past the quarter-finals.
Emma has really stepped into the spotlight during this tournament. She’s been guiding viewers through all the action and has quickly become the new face of darts coverage. It’s impressive, especially since she started at Sky Sports back in 2012, working behind the scenes before moving in front of the camera.
What’s even cooler is that Emma wasn’t always a darts expert. She used to be a promising 400m runner! She spent some of her best years training at Loughborough University alongside Olympians. She even trained with Kelly Sotherton, a former Commonwealth Games champion. Emma has shared how much she loved those days, saying they were some of the best times of her life.
But darts isn’t all serious for her. Emma recently took part in a fun skit where she pretended to get proposed to by a fan. She showed up in a wedding dress, and it was all part of a funny ad for Paddy Power. The fan had held up a sign asking her to marry him, and she jokingly said yes. It was a hit with fans, and now everyone’s trying to get her attention with their own signs!
As for her love life, it’s a bit of a mystery. There are rumors that she’s dating someone named Hannibal, and they even bought a house together. But it’s been a while since we’ve seen any updates about them. Who knows what’s really going on?
