Peter Wright shocks fans with reserved new look as he sports tame blonde mohawk and clean shaven face
The darts star did not last long in the tournament as he was beaten by Jermaine Wattimena in round one.

The 2021 champion was beaten 10-8 by the Dutch ace as he made an early exit.
Wright, 55, still managed to make an impression with his more conservative look.
Snakebite is best known for his bold looks that include a colourful mohawk and goatee.
However, he stunned fans as he appeared to do away with all that.
He took to the oche clean-shaven and with a much tamer-looking blonde mohawk.
Fans reacted to Wright's new look on social media.

A third wrote: "A much cleaner look to Wright."
A fourth said: "Almost didn't realise it was Snakebike."
Another added: "Where is his goatee??"
Wright fell well behind early on in the match as Wattimena stormed into a 4-1 lead.
This led him to change his darts, which appeared to turn the tide as he closed the gap, but he could not complete the comeback.

England captain Leah Williamson trains ahead of Euro 2025 semi-final
England captain Leah Williamson trained with Sarina Wiegman's squad in Zurich the morning before their Euro 2025 semi-final with Italy. There had been doubts over whether the Arsenal centre-back would be available to play in Geneva on Tuesday night after rolling her ankle during extra-time in the defending champions' dramatic penalty shootout victory over Sweden. All 23 players in Wiegman's squad were out for training at Sportanlage Au ahead of their sixth consecutive major tournament semi-final, including Jess Carter, who on Sunday announced she would be stepping back from social media after she was the target of racist abuse. Semi-final week! 💪 — Lionesses (@Lionesses) July 21, 2025 Williamson's fellow defender Esme Morgan said on Saturday she would be prepared to play whatever role Wiegman asked of her, including stepping in for Williamson if necessary. But she added: 'We are very optimistic that Leah will be available. I want what's best for the team and that's absolutely having our captain on the pitch for us.' Wiegman will address the media at her semi-final press conference at 5.45pm UK time.

‘I'm awkward… I don't fit the mould' – James Wade slams darts chiefs and says he's ‘crushed' by Premier League snub
JAMES WADE says he feels 'like a lemon' being left out of the Premier League, but will keep working hard to be part of it. 'The Machine' recently moved up three places in the Professional Darts Corporation's Order of Merit to No.5, meaning he is one spot away from being automatically included in next year's Premier League with the rest of the top four. 3 Wade has been in excellent form 3 He doesn't think the Premier League want him though 3 He's spoken out about why he thinks he's been excluded Credit: Getty The 2009 Premier League winner hasn't competed in the tournament since the 2022 edition, which saw him finish third. Fellow Englishman Stephen Bunting is currently fourth in the PDC rankings, and after a strong first round showing at the World Matchplay by beating Joe Cullen 10-3 while averaging 104.44, Wade's form suggests he could push to overtake him. However, 'exhausted' Wade has joked the PDC would 'change the qualification gaps' to stop him playing in the Premier League. He said: "I think I've paid enough dues, and I think I've done enough things, and I think I've given enough of my life to the PDC that I'd like to get those rewards. read more LUKE OUT Luke Littler narrowly misses out on World Matchplay record after thumping win "But I don't think that'd ever happen to me. I think if I was to get back into the top four things would change with the qualification gaps. "I just think it would change. I'm not what they need and I'm not probably what they want, but I want to be there a hundred percent.' After the top four automatically qualify, the rest of the players are selected by Sky Sports and the PDC and assessed on marketability and popularity. And Wade puts him being left out for the last three years on him being 'awkward.' BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Asked for his theory on his exclusion, he said: 'Because I'm awkward. I'm an awkward character. I probably don't say the right things at the right times. "If I was great at saying the right things at the right time, I probably would've been in all the World Series the last 12 months. But I don't quite fit into that mould. Two-time world champion fires dig at Luke Littler and Co with damning verdict of darts' 'boring' new stars "There's other players that do manage to get those things and unfortunately, I don't. I'd love to travel the world. I've been doing it for 25 years. "Do you not think I want to travel the world? Do you not think I want to represent the PDC? Do you not think I want my children and my wife to see me do great things? 'If anything, it crushes me. It crushes me. Why wouldn't it crush me? I'm perhaps not getting what I maybe could have got. So, it's exhausting not to be in that. "But I'll keep trying as hard as I can. I want to be in it all. I want to be part of it all. Of course, I do because when you're not in it, you feel like a lemon.' Wade next faces Wessel Nijman in round two in Blackpool.
