Luke Humphries follows Luke Littler in hitting back at former World Darts champion after ‘let country down’ jibe
LUKE HUMPHRIES has followed the lead of Luke Littler and hit back at Dennis Priestley’s explosive claims that the pair “let their country down” following an early World Cup exit.
Two-time world champion Priestley, 74, slammed world No.1 Humphries and reigning world champion Littler for losing in the second round to hosts Germany last weekend.
It was their first appearance together in the team format but disappointingly the pair were beaten 8-4 by Martin Schindler and Ricardo Pietreczko amid a cacophony of boos from the Frankfurt crowd.
The English duo were red-hot favourites to claim the title heading into the event.
But Wales star Gerwyn Price said that the two Lukes did not arrive together nor spend enough time in each other’s company – and essentially failed to gel behind the scenes.
That shock defeat came the day after it was announced the two Englishman – the top two on the world rankings – were going to receive recognition in the King’s Birthday Honours List.
Straight-talking Yorkshireman Priestley also said in his chat with bookmakers OLBG that neither player had “done enough to earn their MBEs just yet”.
Cool Hand Luke, 30, lifted the World Cup crown with Michael Smith in 2024 and has vowed to return next year with The Nuke by his side.
The former world champion said on his social media account: “Disappointing to hear a top former pro who I admired say such a damaging thing to me and Luke.
“I didn’t let my country down last year though, did I?

“One bad game for us and we will back next year to go again. Let’s move on now.”
On Thursday, Littler screenshotted an article that contained the quotes and captioned it up as saying: “Don’t deserve an MBE but done more in 12 months than he ever did…
“That’s what I would say anyway.”
That message was later deleted off his Instagram Stories.
Littler is the most recognisable figure in the sport and his Instagram account mushroomed to 1.9 million followers shortly after he burst on to the scene in December 2023.
His next appearance on the oche will be at the bet365 US Darts Masters, which will be held on June 27-28 at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York.

‘This is brilliant’ – Ireland AM host leaves fans in stitches after cheeky innuendo clip with wife
AN Ireland AM star has left his fans in hysterics after he posted a cheeky innuendo clip with his wife.
Popular presenter, Martin King and his wife Jenny McCarthy, who have been married for over 14 years, often share snippets of their relationship with their fans over on social media.
Martin and Jenny are renowned for their shared sense of humour and even have their own podcast together titled An Audience With The King and His Queen.
Yesterday, the funny couple left fans in stitches when they posted a hilarious innuendo video to their social media.
In the short clip, Jenny was sat on the end of their bed saying: “Take my clothes off.”
The camera then panned to Martin who was laying underneath the bed sheets as he replied: “No!”
Jenny gave a stern look to her husband and responded: “Take my clothes off now!”
A frustrated Martin reappeared and sighed: “Ugh fine.”
However, in a hilarious twist, when the TV star lifted the covers off himself he was wearing one of Jenny’s sun dresses.
Martin stood up from the bed wearing a strapless maxi dress with frills and a stripe pattern.
He then humorously walked off sulking into the next room dragging the dress with him.
A caption over the video wrote: “My wife is very demanding.”
And fans were all left in tears of laughter as they flocked to the comment section.
Kellie wrote: “This is brilliant hahahah.”
Wendy said: “I’m weak! This really made me laugh.”
‘I’M DEAD’
Majella remarked: “You two are a scream!!”
Biddy added: “Oh for f*** sake! Ye are hilarious.”
While Pete commented: “Brilliant, I can see a comedy sketch coming shortly.”
And Sonya laughed: “I’m dead, just gas!!”
The clever video has since gone viral on TikTok with over 15,000 views.

Bodybuilder dubbed ‘She Hulk’ beaten to death with hammer at her Costa del Sol home as muscleman husband also found dead
A PROFESSIONAL female bodybuilder dubbed “She Hulk” was found beaten to death with a hammer at her rented Costa del Sol home.
Colombian bodybuilding champion Zunilda Hoyos Mendez was found dead yesterday afternoon after detectives went to the property.
Her partner’s body was found in a bathroom with what police have described as “apparent self-inflicted stab wounds.”
He has been named as 46-year-old Jarrod Gelling.
Zunilda, who called herself Amy, had been missing since Saturday after flying to the Costa del Sol from Dubai.
Her relatives described Jarrod overnight as “aggressive” and said they believe he could have lashed out after she told him she wanted a divorce.
Zunilda’s niece Yuleydis told Malaga-based newspaper Sur her aunt was going to help Jarrod following a knee operation before travelling to Portugal to compete and then going back to Colombia alone after taking the divorce decision.
She said: “For my aunt it was the last trip, a goodbye.
“She had taken the decision to split from her husband because of his aggressive behaviour.
“They had broken up already once and were apart for quite a while but then got back together again to try to resolve things, although the mistreatment continued.”
The couple’s bodies were found just before 2pm yesterday inside a property on a residential estate.
Zunilda’s gym companion raised the alarm saying he hadn’t seen her since June 14.
A National Police spokesman in Malaga said: “The National Police is investigating the death of a man and woman found lifeless at a property in Fuengirola.
“In the absence of official identification of the bodies, initial inquiries are pointing to them being those of a 43-year-old woman of Colombian origin and her 46-year-old partner of American origin.
“Officers went to the property on a residential estate about 1.45pm after a friend of the woman whose body was found reported her disappearance on Wednesday at the National Police Station in Torremolinos.
“Her body showed obvious signs of violence and that of the man’s signs indicating a suicide-type death which is something an autopsy will have to confirm.”
The suspected killer is believed to have Colombian and US nationality.
If the woman’s death is confirmed as a gender violence murder, it would be the third so far in the province of Malaga and the fifth in Southern Spain’s Andalucia region.
Spanish news website El Espanol has reported that Zunilda also had more than 100,000 followers on OnlyFans and Fansly.
She finished second in the NPC Worldwide Latin American Championships in 2021.
Her coach Branden Rey said in an emotional Instagram post: “We had 17 days until we were going to hit the stage and shock the world my friend.
“I told you that you could possibly be top 10 in the world by the end of this year and I meant it.
“Rest in paradise Amy.”
Bodybuilder friend and coach Behnaz Azar said in an online tribute: “I don’t know where to begin.
“My heart is broken, my mind is clouded, and my soul is drowning in shock and sorrow.
“Amy – my kind, strong, fierce friend.
“The most powerful woman I knew in the world of bodybuilding, yet with the gentlest heart.”

VILLA AT WAR
It’s been chaos in the villa the last 24 hours as Helena stormed off from the group after a savage Love Island game saw Harry finally admitting to snogging Yasmin.
Yasmin initiated the smooch after Harry admitted he enjoyed their kiss in a villa challenge.
She told him bluntly: “I’m waiting for you to shut up and kiss me.”
Harry duly obliged and went all in. He grabbed Yasmin by the throat and bit her lip as they gave in to desire.
Yasmin was just as handsy, leaving her mark on Harry by scratching his neck.
But despite their snog, neither Harry nor Yasmin admitted to it when they returned from the Hideaway.
That was until their actions were exposed in a brutal firepit game on Thursday night.
Helena was left in shock as Yasmin revealed they’d kissed not once, but three times.
And while Harry smirked, the stunning air hostess was backed by co-star Megan.
“You’re a liar,” Megan shouted across the firepit to Harry, adding: “You owe it to Helena to be f****** honest, you p****.
“She’s sat there watching you go into the Hideaway, you kissed her three times and then come out and go ‘Oh no, I didn’t do anything.’”
Meg finished by telling Harry: “Grow a pair of b******* mate, honestly, grow the f*** up.”
After her sweary rant at the scandalous star, Helena got up and stormed off from the group as Remell said: “I think we should wrap it up here.”
While Helena could be seen storming off as Harry showed no sign of remorse.
There were more fireworks earlier in the game when it was revealed Yasmin said she’d like Harry to “tip her upside down”.
Elsewhere, Conor read out a comment from Dejon that ruffled Meg’s feathers.
Dejon previously told the boys about Yasmin: “She’s never orgasmed, so if I give her her first orgasm, then she’ll fall in love.”
After Conor read out the comment, Yasmin said to the group: “I mean, if you can make me orgasm, fair play. I probably will fall in love.”
Things go from bad to worse when Remell read out a remark that Harry made to the boys about wanting to kiss Yasmin.
Helena yelled: “What the f*** is going on here?”
Megan exclaimed: “He tells you f*** all and that’s why, you need to find out and hear it for yourself.”

Stoney-faced Naga wants ‘business as usual’ but subtle slips reveal what she REALLY thinks about ‘bullying’ allegations
NAGA Munchetty appeared ready for business as usual on TV today – but her expressions were telling just hours after allegations of bullying emerged, a body language expert has said.
The BBC Breakfast host, 50, appeared on air this morning after allegations of bullying relating to her treatment of junior colleagues.
It comes after she allegedly made an ‘off-air sex jibe’ towards a coworker that left them feeling uncomfortable.
She also reportedly accused a junior staffer of stealing – with bosses reprimanding the star for her behaviour.
Her return to the studio shows a desire to continue business as usual, despite the scandal surrounding the show.
During this morning’s broadcast, she and Charlie Stayt hosted a segment on being ‘appropriate at work’, discussing whether shorts are appropriate workwear in hot weather.
Body language expert Judi James suggested Naga looked “stoic, professional, and maybe ironic” throughout the segment.
Both her body language and her tone gave an air of authority and confidence.
Judi said: “Her start comment of ‘some people’ sounds weighted, with tonal emphasis on the word ‘some’ and she uses a cut-off ritual with her hand while using very direct eye contact on Charlie, who purses his lips and looks back.”
While at the start she sits with one elbow on the back of the sofa in a “confident-looking splay” she then leans back in her seat and dons a more “authoritative expression”.
She continues to hold this expression as Naga concludes: “It depends on your workplace dress code and the nature of your job.”
As the focus shifts to Charlie to continue the ‘what is appropriate in the workplace’ discussion, Naga looks into the camera with an “asymmetric, wry-looking smile”.
Charlie meanwhile sucks his lips inwards in an expression of seriousness according to Judi, before employing some “serious-looking head batons for emphasis”.
Earlier this morning, Naga was seen arriving through the back door of the BBC studio, in a move Judi describes as “low on drama with clearly no desire to showboat or perform any active body language rituals of denial for the cameras.”
She was wearing a royal blue cat suit that Judi says is a “stylish, confident and professional choice”.
Throughout the show she maintained this professionalism, visually addressing the cameras.
Judi said: “Naga’s very direct visual address of the cameras hasn’t changed or diluted, which suggests a very direct and open relationship with the viewers.”
This is mirrored by her body language which also suggests openness.
However, Judi suggested that there were some signs of the pressure Naga is facing amidst the allegations as she sandwiched her left hand between her crossed legs, or fiddled with an earring or the neckline of her jumpsuit.
Her relationship with Charlie had signs of “harmony” and appeared “friendly”.
Judi said: “After the 7:30 news ended the camera caught them at a distance and it was Naga budging up closer and throwing him a warm smile as they prepared for the next segment.”
After the show finished, the pair were seen enjoying a cigarette break together outside the studio.
Despite the ironic tone of the segment, Naga has not yet addressed the allegations made against her.
Breakfast’s editor Richard Frediani has also taken leave from the show amid separate bullying claims.
