After years of Darts players invading TV poker tournaments it's about time we sent one of ours their way. The Devilfish has been confirmed to play in a celebrity darts heat on ITV1 on the 14th of November, just before the Grand Slam of Darts final. He will be up against Barry McGuigan, Neil Ruddock, Steve Davis and Phil Tuffnel in his heat. Eddie Hearn of Matchroom sports commented:
"Regardless of what you may think of Mr Ulliott, I am delighted to get him into the line up because I think to get someone (who is perceived by the poker World as a celebrity) access to a mainstream ITV audience can only be good for the game. Hopefully he won't swear too much."
I'd fancy the Devilfish to do well in the heat, as he is a mean pool player and the two games do seem to go hand in hand as a sign of a misspent youth. (story source...)
