A Sky Sports presenter has criticised fans who attended the Premier League Darts after noticing what they did during Luke Littler's clash with Luke Humphries.

On Thursday night, the Premier League Darts returned with night two, which was held at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow.

Tournament favourite and defending champion Littler had to come from 5-1 down in the quarter-final against Rob Cross to win 6-5 before dispatching Michael van Gerwen 6-2 to set up a mouth-watering clash against Humphries.

During what was a dramatic final, it was Littler who came out on top in the deciding leg to win 6-5.

However, the match was marred by a section of the crowd who was whistling at Humphries whenever he took to the oche.

Earlier in the evening, the crowd also whistled at Gerwyn Price, with the Welshman hitting back with his own gesture.

Referee Kirk Bevins was forced to intervene over the microphone mid-match.

Reacting on social media, Sky Sports presenter Abigail Davies wrote: "Yet again, well done to those who paid good money to go and watch the best darts players in the world put on a show and actively contributed to them not delivering their absolute best by whistling.

"Really clever, that. There is no way you can be a fan of the sport if you do that."

Meanwhile, Littler also criticised the crowd when speaking after his victory over Humphries.

The 18-year-old said: "Yeah, obviously, there was a few in particular that were doing it [whistling] when Luke [Humphries] was throwing.

"Kirk [Bevins, match referee] told them to be quiet and it got even worse, and then I missed doubles and Luke breaks at 5-4."

Littler added: "I'm just like, 'Kirk, you've made it worse for me there, I'm 5-4 down.' But I broke back and held my throw very strongly again.

"If it's the same (outcome) as what it was when Kirk said it, then obviously just leave it. Obviously, they've got to step in at some point and say something. But yeah, that was pretty bad, but I got the win."

As a result of winning night two, Littler climbed to second place in the table with five points, three behind current leader Humphries.

Premier League Darts will return next Thursday, with the event taking place at the 3Arena in Dublin.
