Darts host forced to apologise after Nathan Aspinall's X-rated interview with Asp left covering his face in horror
NATHAN ASPINALL went from hero to zero after accidentally swearing during an on-stage interview. The Asp won the European Tour 8 final last night, beating Damon Heta 8-6 to bank a whopping £30,000. 3 3 Aspinall is in great form after making the Premier League play-off last Thursday by finishing in the top four and he won the night in Aberdeen on May 15. The 33-year-old was asked about his recent brilliance in a live TV interview after picking up the trophy in Leveruksen, Germany yesterday. Aspinall reflected: "I've been through rubbish but I'm getting back there. "When things are not going your way, you have to keep fighting, digging and believing you can get back to your best. That is what I do. "And the last few weeks have been pretty f***ing good." Aspinall immediately covered his face in horror after his X-rated remark. Host Philip Brzezinski said: "Very nearly Nathan. We apologise for the language." Heta was also seen giggling to himself after his rival's dropped the F-bomb. It came after Aspinall also said: "To bounce back after the defeat on Thursday night, to come here and win this tournament, shows where my game's at at the moment. "I don't make games easy but in the semi-final and final I played fantastic. 'Early to be losing your rag' - Commentator blasts darts star as he has MELTDOWN in just second leg "Credit to Damon - I thought that final was absolutely fantastic, it was a great game of darts, nip and tuck." 3

‘Early to be losing your rag' – Commentator blasts darts star as he has MELTDOWN in just second leg
DARTS star Matt Campbell lost his temper and angrily threw at the board after busting his score. The 35-year-old had an early meltdown in his first round European Tour 8 clash against Alan Soutar. 1 Campbell was one leg up and had the perfect chance to extend his lead, requiring just 24. But he got his throw at the double 12 horribly wrong and it landed in nine. The Canadian was then left with 15 and he eyed up the three. But once again, his dart was a disaster and it fell into the neighbouring 17 to bust his score. A furious Campbell then chucked his final arrow at the board in a fit of rage to leave commentator Dan Dawson shocked. He said: "Wow. Well, you can understand why he is annoyed. But it's quite early on to be losing your rag isn't? Leg two." Fans reacted: "I love it when something like this happens as it makes me feel less s*** about how bad I am at darts." Another added: "Campbell is like us, professional players are human beings." Soutar made the most of the nightmare leg, stepping up and levelling the score at 1-1. But Campbell composed himself and went on to win 6-4. He faces Ross Smith in the second round in Leverkusen, Germany tomorrow. Stephen Bunting, Gary Anderson, Peter Wright, Nathan Aspinall, Jonny Clayton, Chris Dobey and Damon Heta are the biggest names in the competition.
