'Today a photograph of me holding up a newspaper has been published in the media. The media attention I have been getting is very new to me and I didn't fully understand at the time what I was being asked to do. 'In no way do I endorse that newspaper or the headline which accompanied the article and I sincerely apologise for any offence this has caused. I'm focusing now on my next match with Barney and would like to thank everyone for their amazing support.'[caption id="attachment_296443" align="aligncenter" width="640"]

"I'm going to say this now - we had another youngster called Josh Rock that all you press and everything else have absolutely destroyed. "So if it ever goes t*** up with Luke, then give yourselves a pat on the back, because that's the way it's going. Let the boy play darts! "I've been downstairs today, he's had cameras, zoom calls, Sky meetings. Let the boy play darts. "He's had a great tournament, he's done well, but what happens if it goes Pete Tong now? You boys have ruined it, haven't you? "So let the boy play darts, he's 16-years-old, playing well."https://twitter.com/ChrisHammer180/status/1740839962033926533 https://twitter.com/ChrisHammer180/status/1740848053945618438
