Michael Smith embraced his wife and kids in emotional scenes after his magical World Darts Championship title triumph - but had previously banned them for 'putting him off'.
'Bully Boy' was crowned world champion for the first time on Tuesday night after toppling Michael van Gerwen 7-4 at Ally Pally in a final for the ages.
An inspired Smith won the greatest darts leg ever seen in set three as he nailed an unforgettable nine-darter just after Van Gerwen had agonisingly wired D12 on his own attempt.
