Darts star Damon Heta left red-faced after awkward on-stage antics to Mervyn King at Players Championship
DARTS star Damon Heta left fans in hysterics after awkward antics at the Players Championship Finals.
The Aussie smashed Mervyn King 6-1 at Butlin’s Minehead yesterday.
But as the players walked onto stage and got ready for their first round clash, Heta, 37, strangely teased his opponent.
As hit track “I’m Sexy and I Know It” was blasted through the speakers, King, 58, prepared for the clash by putting the flights on his arrows.
But Heta had other ideas and entertained the crowd by dancing.
He sneaked up behind the veteran and thrusted towards him like they do in the song’s music video.
There were laughs from fans and even the referee was giggling, with King none the wiser to what was happening.
A video of the incident was posted on social media and Heta was seemingly red faced by it as he responded with an embarrassed emoji.
Fans found it hilarious, with one saying: “Gotta love it.”
Another added: “This is jokes.”

A third laughed: “I’m sure Merv would have loved that.”
Heta is No11 in the world rankings and has gone on a remarkable rise to the top.
The Heat has played darts since 2007 and came to England to further his career in 2019.
He moved to the other side of the world with nowhere to live until a friend helped him out.
Heta faces Krzysztof Ratajski in the second round of the Players Championship Finals today.
