‘It annoys me people pick up on that’ – Stephen Bunting hits back over claims of ‘weird’ behaviour with Luke Littler
STEPHEN BUNTING has hit back at critics of his so-called “weird” behaviour when playing Luke Littler.
Fan-favourite Bunting, 39, faced off against teen sensation Littler during the World Darts Championship.

However, Bunting got his revenge at the Dutch Darts Masters as he beat Littler 7-6 in the semi-finals.
But the Liverpool-supporting darts ace has been criticised by rivals for his “weird behaviour” when playing Littler after he was seen fist-bumping him several times during their clash at Alexandra Palace.
Pal Dave Chisnall had remarked: “I’m not one for gamesmanship and you won’t hear me slagging folk off, but I did think the fist bumps after every set was a bit weird.”
In response, Bunting told oche180: “He’s a 17-year-old lad who’s got the world at his feet, and he’s still learning the game.
“I’m very respectful for what he’s doing for our game and I hope he continues for a lot of years, because he’s a lot more money to our sport.
“On another note, I’ve known him personally since he was a little kid.”
Despite the criticism, Bunting is choosing to bite the bullet and see it as a positive thing that people are talking more about a fist-bump than his performance.

He continued: “It does annoy me a bit that people pick up upon that sort of thing, that shows how well I’m playing, that they have got to pick up on a fist-bump rather than a bad performance.”
Bunting has been in electric form of late, despite losing to Rob Cross in the Dutch Masters final last night.
And he has had a legion of support backing him up.
He said of the support: “The fans are a massive part of what we do and getting them involved, the Bunting mental chants, Walking in a Bunting Wonderland, it really does help when you’re up on that stage on your own.
“It can be such a lonely place, but they get me through so many games.”
The next event on the darts calendar is the Winmau World Masters being held in Milton Keynes.
World No.5 Bunting won the title last year by beating Michael van Gerwen 11-7 in the final and will face a qualifying opponent in the opening round this year.
Littler, now World No.2, will similarly face a qualifier in the opening round.
The winner will pocket £100,000 in prize money.
I bought Lamborghini off celeb mechanic who restored Marcus Rashford’s car… but I had no idea it was ‘UNDRIVEABLE’
A MOTORS enthusiast has claimed he was conned by a TikTok star after buying a supercar that had been stripped of parts.
Antonio Montanino purchased the Lamborghini Murciélago off celebrity mechanic Mat Armstrong.
Antonio Montanino says he is still waiting for parts for the Lamborghini Murciélago[/caption] Antonio runs a YouTube channel fixing up cars[/caption] Antonio claims he’s been battling to get the parts for over a year[/caption]Antonio, 33, from Bedfordshire, agreed a fee with the influencer for the car – which an employee of Armstrong’s told the Sun was £30,000 – before he says the star reneged on some of the deal.
Antonio claims Armstrong was supposed to provide him with dozens of key parts so he could restore the second-hand motor himself on his own YouTube channel.
He alleges Armstrong ignored the agreement before eventually offering to buy the car back at a further £30,000 profit.
Former maths teacher Antonio said he refuses to sell the car and the stalemate has now lasted over 12 months.
He told the Sun: “He’s trying to use these parts as leverage to buy my car back. I’m a person of principle.
“Even if he said £100,000 [more], I’d still say no. Categorically, I bought the car a year ago, it’s not for sale.
“It’s just a control thing. He’s trying to wave his money around… all I want to do is build my car on my channel and have done with this.”
He added: “I’m completely happy with the car, there’s no issue there – it’s all the parts that are missing.”
These include gear selectors, steering wheel cowl, interior mirrors, speaker covers, wheel arch liners, key fob and brake discs – some of which are custom made by Lamborghini.
Antonio explained the Murciélago is his “dream car” and he’d been looking to buy one for 18 months before he ended up making a deal with Armstrong at the end of 2023.
He had initially agreed to purchase it off a different dealer before Armstrong nipped in and bought it to take back to his garage in Leicestershire.
However, Antonio was able to persuade him to sell the motor onto him.
Antonio said: “When I went to view the car he said he was keeping the engine gearbox CCU (clutch control unit), but the rest of the car is going to be complete as I viewed it, which I agreed.”
He then paid that November and returned the following month to pick it up.
Antonio said: “It was quite dark and I said there’s all these bits missing. He said ‘oh yeah, I just wanted to see what was interchangeable with my car’.
“I didn’t think anything of it at the time. He said ‘just make a list of the parts and I’ll get them for you and you can come and collect them’.”
Antonio said the next day he sent Armstrong a list of the parts he needed.
However, he claims after some back and forth Armstrong eventually went silent.
After multiple attempts to reach out to him, Antonio said Armstrong told him in June last year he had the parts requested.
However, Antonio said he struggled to set up a specific time to go and collect them before one of Armstrong’s assistants said the influencer wanted to buy the car itself back in November.
“I said ‘it’s not for sale’. He let slip he’d bought another car and basically wanted to do up another Murciélago on his channel.”
Antonio gave the assistant the number of someone else he knew who was selling the same model.
Antonio went to collect the parts – of which there are around 30 – last month.
He made the two-and-a-half hour journey with his girlfriend in the days before Christmas but said Armstrong only had two parts to give him, as the others had been “lost”.
“I said ‘no, you don’t just lose Lamborghini parts… you’ve obviously got them.”
Antonio said when he asked how long it would take to get the other parts, Armstrong joked “it might be a few years”.
“He started laughing in our faces. When they did that it ticked me off the wrong way, as it would,” he explained.
Antonio’s girlfriend began recording Armstrong and his assistants, who then also started recording them, he claims.
Eventually, Antonio left with the two parts, but said during the meeting Armstrong “kept trying to offer to buy the car back when I told him it wasn’t for sale”.
He theorised: “They’d already planned to keep my parts and buy my car back. It was like his programmed setting, but it’s not going to work with me.
“The way I feel is if he wants to offer £30,000 extra than what he bought the car for, which is obviously not for sale, why doesn’t he just give me the money for the parts?
“I gave him the number of a guy who has the car he wants, and he didn’t buy that one. So why does he want my car so badly?
“He’s got the money, go and buy another one. There’s plenty more available.”
Antonio also claims Armstrong removed all the centre caps off the car’s wheels before selling it to him, for reasons he doesn’t understand.
He posted a video about the standoff on his own YouTube channel last month and said he’s received private messages claiming Armstrong has done similar to other customers.
“I’m happy to know I’m not the only one being screwed,” he said.
Antonio claims last month he received a “prank” call from someone laughing at him and on Christmas Day was sent an abusive Instagram message from a new anonymous account.
He said of Armstrong: “He just needs to sort it out as a man, but no, he’s playing these little child games. He’s basically just hoping it goes away.”
LAUGHED OFF
Armstrong laughed off the allegations when the Sun approached him at his unit in Mallory Park, Leicestershire.
A friend filmed him under the bonnet of another Lambourghini, as he said: “We did offer to buy it back off him to sort it all out.
“It is not something we would really want to talk about.”
Asked about the prank call and abusive messages, he laughed and went inside.
A colleague explained: “Look, we are on about paying him an extra £30,000 because the parts aren’t there.
“We sold the car for £30,000 to him. We have said to him we will buy it back for £60,000 because he is not happy with what he’s received.
“There is no profit for us, we are taking a £30,000 loss. We feel that is a fair solution to the problem.
“He is trying to make a big deal out of it but we are trying to offer him a solution.”
The Sun has contacted Armstrong for further comment.
YouTuber Mat Armstrong[/caption]Love Island’s India reveals she secretly fancied another All Star but was put off by his age
LOVE Island’s India has revealed that she secretly fancied another All Star but was put off by his age.
India Reynolds was brutally dumped from the island last weekend, with fans left devastated by the dumping.
India’s Love Island: All Stars stint was short-lived[/caption]During Sunday night’s episode of Love Island: All Stars, new bombshell Tina Stinnes shocked viewers when she stole Scott Thomas from brunette beauty India.
India was told by host Maya Jama that she should pack her bags and prepare to leave the villa immediately, with the star now speaking out following her axe.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun about the hunky guys in the villa, India revealed who she secretly fancied – and shared why she never made a move.
“I think if Luca was a bit older then maybe Luca,” India spilled when asked if any other Islanders caught her eye.
She added: “I did think he was really funny. He’s gorgeous, but he is very young.”
India then added: “I think Luca was struggling because obviously last time he went in, everyone was a similar age to him, so this time maybe it was a little bit harder for him.
Luca is now coupled up with newcomer Grace Jackson, but India told us how she thought he might be suited to Tina.
When asked if she thought her ex Scott could go the distance with Tina, she said: “I personally think that maybe she was more suited to Luca, but they had a kiss last night, so who am I to judge, maybe.”
When Tina stole Scott from India, social media erupted because viewers were so angry with the way in which she was dumped in such a brutal way.
Tina’s close pal from the 2016 series of the show then spoke out about how she would have been feeling “so bad and guilty” for dumping a girl from the island.
Olivia Bowen, who starred alongside Tina in their series of Love Island back in season two, took to Instagram and said: “Honestly, I know Tina will be feeling so bad and guilty sending someone home.
“When I tell you she wouldn’t hurt a fly. She’s literally a little dot.”
She then gushed over Tina’s increased confidence this year, saying: “I loveeee seeing her confidence this season though. She’s grown so much since season 2!
“Excited to see what happens next for her. With Scott or Luca.”

Call the Midwife viewers fear show exit for star after ‘disappearing’ from new series – 13 years after debut
CALL the Midwife fans have been left fearing for show star after ‘disappearing’ from the new series.
The beloved period drama returned earlier this month for its 14th season with new storylines – and of course babies.
Timothy Turner hasn’t been seen in the popular drama since its Christmas special in 2023[/caption] The character, played by Max Macmillan, is believed to be studying at medical school[/caption]But as viewers got caught up on the latest from Nonnatus House, they noticed one character is missing.
Timothy Turner was last seen as he departed Popular for medical school in 2021.
He briefly returned to screens in 2023 for the show’s Christmas special but hasn’t been back since.
Flooding social media with comments, worried fans begged for an update on Timothy, who is played by Max Macmillan.
One asked: “Not to worry anyone but where’s Timothy Turner? #callthemidwife.”
A second posted: “Where is Timothy Turner? I can’t even remember if he disappeared somewhere in the previous series or if something happened to him.”
“What’s happened to Timothy Turner? He wasn’t in the Xmas special and not in the new series so far,” said a third.
While a fourth wrote: “And that’s it for this week-See you same time next week for Episode 4 and a new arrival (although if Nancy, Timothy and Cyril can hurry back before this series ends that would be great) #CallTheMidwife.”
Timothy has been a part of Call the Midwife since series two, and viewers have seen him grow from a boy into a young man.
Meanwhile, show boss Heidi Thomas recently revealed the future of the hit after 14 years on screens.
Despite pulling in millions of viewers for the Beeb, Heidi revealed fans constantly assume the show will eventually have to end.
However, she reckons Call the Midwife can continue to run and run.
Call The Midwife: A breakdown
Call The Midwife first came onto the airwaves in 2012 and has been seen by millions. But what is it about?
Series one: Set in early 1957 and it explored the ‘Baby Boom generation, which included themes of poverty and post-war immigration.
Series two: Set in 1958 and it showed gas and air being introduced for pain relief for the first time. It ended with the Nonnatus House building being condemned.
Series three: Set in 1959 and it depicted gruesome conditions such as cystic fibrosis, polio and it showed the midwives in the context on prisons.
Series four: Set in 1960 under the threat of nuclear warfare and the emergency response guidelines issued by the local Civil Defence Corp. Other themes included LGBT rights, and syphilis.
Series five: Set in 1961 and it shows the care of patients with conditions such as Typhoid and strokes. We also saw the effects of thalidomide, the introduction of the contraceptive pill.
Series six: Set in 1962 and domestic violence was at the centre of the season. Other themes included FGM (female genital mutilation), mental health issues and interracial marriage. It was also notable for the introduction of Reggie, a recurring character with Down Syndrome.
Series seven: Set in 1963 and we see Nurse Lucille Anderson for the first time. We also see the show address conditions such as dementia, huntington’s disease, leprosy and meningitis
Series eight: Set in 1964 and it bravely covered the issue of abortion, which was not legal for another three years in 1967. Sickle cell disease, cleft lip, cleft palate and intersex people also featured.
Series nine: Diptheria was at the centre of the ninth instalment in 1965, and it was notable for featuring a blind expectant mother. But the role of Nonnatus House within the community also came into question.
Series ten: Set in 1966, Nonnatus House has a rival in the form of the private Lady Emily Clinic in Mayfair. PKU, diabetes and the controversy surrounding abortion were central themes.
Series eleven: Set in 1967 amid the housing crisis and a scabies epidemic. The show was rocked by a train crash right next to Nonnatus House.
Alison Hammond pays sweet tribute to late mum who inspired new BBC travel show saying ‘I’m following in her footsteps’
ALISON Hammond has admitted her brand new travel show is inspired by her late mum.
The This Morning star, 49, has headed to sunny Florida for her new series on BBC Two and has been joined by her son, Aidan.
Alison Hammond’s new show Florida Unpacked will pay tribute to her late mum[/caption] Alison’s mum passed away in 2020[/caption]In the show, the duo will show viewers how they can take on Florida on a budget – something she used to do as a child with her own mum.
Alison opened up to The Sun’s TV Mag about her travels with her mother Maria, who passed away in 2020, and the reason as to why travel has always been in their DNA.
In an exclusive interview, she said: “For years, I worked as a tour rep, following in the footsteps of my dear, lovely mum – a hard-working, no-nonsense travel agent. Travel’s in my blood.
“Thanks to Mum’s money-saving tips, we managed to budget our way to a place that totally captured our heart – Florida.
“What you experience as a child, you naturally want to pass on to your own children, and Florida was such a big part of my life, so of course I want to share that with Aidan.
“We’ve always been together and travelled together. Usually when we go to Orlando, it’s theme parks or bust, but this time we’re doing things a little differently…”
Across the 10-part series, viewers will see Alison and Aidan hitting the road and exploring the sunshine state on a shoestring budget, visiting beautiful parks and making priceless memories by taking part in activities such as canoeing and paragliding.
“This trip was eye-opening,” smiles Alison. “We visited some stunning, historical places that I never knew existed. And the natural beauty is unbelievable.
“As we were canoeing through the natural springs, we saw monkeys and all sorts of wildlife.
“My mum wasn’t there this time, so that was sad, but it was still lovely because we could reminisce about the things we used to do together.
“Both Aidan and I have so many memories with my mum, and this trip was a beautiful time spent with my son.”
Even though many teenage boys might think it’s uncool to holiday with their mum, Alison insists that she’s Aidan’s number one travel buddy.
“He absolutely loves it. He’s always asking: ‘Can I come?’” she smiles.
“The other day, he was saying how much fun we have together – I bring the LOLs, I am the life and soul, and he realises that. He’s been on plenty of trips with his friends, but he always says he has the best time with me!”
