Michael Smith fans were thrilled as they spotted the "unusual" way he celebrated the PDC World Darts Championship win.
The St Helens born star defeated Michael van Gerwen in a nail-biting final at Alexandra Palace last night. Smith, dubbed "Bully Boy" by fans, brought the title to Merseyside with a 7 - 4 victory over the world number three.
In the build up to the final, the 32-year-old explained his daily routine during the campaign to win the championship involved watching episodes of a classic gameshow. He said: "I’ll wake up tomorrow and just do what I’ve been doing, lay in bed and watch a few Catchphrases.

"It has been good. It’s been on about 9 o’clock every morning, it’s the only thing that’s been on at that time.” Michael left fans in hysterics when he shared a snap on Instagram of his trophy after the win.
Fans took to the comments in stitches as they spotted he had once again tuned into ITV2 as he enjoyed a well-deserved relax after the landmark victory.
However, fans took to the comments to question why he hadn't chosen to watch Catchphrase.
Joe said: "Catchphrase on?"
