World Darts Championship results LIVE as Day Five welcomes a former champion

We've only had four days of action but already it feels like the Ally Pally roof's about to come off.

We've had Scot Cameron Menzies breaking down on the stage only to discover the real reason behind his tears wasn't the defeat to Leonard Gates but the heartbreaking story of his desperately-ill father.

There's been the comical Dog & Duck leg between Noa-Lynn van Leuven and Kevin Doets. And we've had trolling from Celtic players at their Rangers rivals . Oh, and not to forget some scintillating arrows from the planet's best performers at the World Darts Championship.

But the best thing is we've barely scratched the surface. Yeah that's right, Luke Littler has still to take to the stage as has our very own Gary Anderson who will be up on the oche on Sunday night.

So if you're not near a TV today or even if you are and want some expert analysis (and maybe a bit of patter as well), do yourself a favour and follow our LIVE blog. Enjoy!
