Ex-Sky Sports presenter struggles to watch replacement after retiring with Parkinson's

Legendary Sky Sports Darts presenter Dave Clark admits he now finds it difficult to watch live coverage of the sport, describing it as like seeing 'your wife smooch another man'.

The popular Clark joined the station in 1998, also fronting several big boxing bouts as well as working on shows like Soccer AM. But it was in darts where his face and voice became synonymous, working on all the major PDC events including the annual world championships and Premier League.
