‘All sorts of silly nonsense going on' – Darts duo embroiled in on-stage row as it emerges what kicked off public spat
DARTS stars Ritchie Edhouse and Kim Huybrechts were involved in an on-stage row at the Dutch Darts Championship.
The Belgian was 3-0 up but threw away his lead to lose 6-5 in a thrilling deciding leg.

Tensions boiled over in the latter stages as Edhouse missed two match darts and appeared to blame fans.
Both players were being put off by the crowd and after his nearly costly error, the man nicknamed Madhouse turned to supporters and made a whistling gesture at them.
But it only made the atmosphere more tense as Huybrechts stepped up to the oche and bust his score.
He then made the same gesture to the crowd as Edhouse took his second chance to win the match.
The Englishman celebrated wildly and let out another huge whistle at spectators to a chorus of boos.
Edhouse then turned to Huybrechts for a handshake, which was seemingly snubbed and angry words were exchanged between the two.
The confrontation shocked commentator Dan Dawson, who said: "All sorts of silly nonsense going on there.
"Some posturing, some awful darts and ultimately a good one in double one sees the European champion through to round two."
Asked about the incident post-match, Edhouse said: "Me and Kim, there is a lot of history. Little whistles, I done it back and Kim got the hump with it.'
Edhouse again worked his deciding leg magic to see off Dave Chisnall in the second round today.
But Michael van Gerwen will not be competing against him for the title after announcing he has broken up his wife Daphne and withdrawn from the event.

Joanne Kavanagh, Showbiz Reporter Published: Invalid Date, LISA Snowdon really is the gift that keeps on giving, and today's sexy video doesn't disappoint. The This Morning presenter, 53, left fans with their jaws dropped with her latest bikini clip, which saw her flash her peachy bum. 7 7 7 7 Taking to social media, Lisa shared a video where she was seen revealing her timeless figure in a tiny bikini. She was seen dressed in a red and white thong bikini, with matching shorts and floaty coverall. Lisa was then seen showing off her body in different angles and she twirled for the camera. Fans went wild in the comments section, with many quick to swoon over how ageless Lisa looks, and how toned her body is. "Gorgeous!!! And obsessed with the matching shorts!" penned one person underneath the selection of snaps. "Wow! You are so stunning Lisa! And fit & healthy - inspiring," added a second. A third then penned: "You look absolutely gorgeous! It's like you are aging backwards." "Stunning and the best moves," said a fourth. STAYING SHAPE Lisa previously spoke candidly about losing weight when she took to social media to share how she had shed the pounds. "You know I've really tried to get the weight off these last few years. Well, longer than that, four or five years," the TV star said last year. Inside Lisa Snowdon's holiday in Mallorca with fiance George "And I'm so proud of all the work that I've done and my willpower. Not drinking all the time. It's really helped me.
