Darts star scored a bull with wife Marie
Bobby George rates his first marriage as his worst investment and spouse number two as his best, he tells Jessica Bown
Darts player Bobby George is perhaps as well known for his gold jewellery and tournament entrances, accompanied by the strains of Queen’s We are the Champions, as he is for his many victories.
Twice winner of the News of the World Darts Championship, George, 60, has represented England and is also a former American Open champion.
However, he rarely competes these days, preferring to present darts coverage for the BBC and take part in exhibitions and promotional events when not spending time at his palatial Essex home, George Hall. His next project is Showbiz Darts, a daily programme to be shown on the Challenge channel from October 2.
Born and raised in London’s East End, George only threw his first dart at the age of 29.
A keen angler, he left the city because he wanted more space and now has his own fishing lakes in the 12-acre grounds of George Hall, where he lives with wife, Marie, 48, and sons Robert, 18, and Richard, 16.
Nicola, 36, and Shane, 33 - the children from his first marriage - also live in Essex.
