And the Scotsman took his opportunity to bring up the shift in darts in his response, even calling out younger players for "walking round with 'their bloody headphones in'. He said: 'I was sitting thinking the other day, having a talk with [Ian] White, [Adrian] Lewis, [Phil] Taylor, [Kevin] Painter, we used to sit and have a cracking laugh. 'Nowadays, I'd rather sit like this. Nobody talks to anybody. You don't have a good laugh, you don't have a bit of banter. You need to have a laugh.

Nowadays, there's not much of that going about.' He continued: 'The youngsters are boring. Absolutely boring. 'You talk to them, they're too busy looking at their phone. 'They're sitting on their phones with their bloody earphones in. Don't talk to you. It's a completely different life.'

Luke Littler reveals gruelling new training regime that saw him almost break darts record And while Anderson understands the new stars are making sure they reap the rewards of the rise of darts' popularity, he still wants them to let loose now and again. He said: 'The youngsters, they're here to do their job. They've realised they've got a great chance in life to make a lot of bloody money, buy their first house, then their second house. 'But they need to calm down and think: right, this is my job. That's it.' Anderson's next opponent in the Matchplay will be either Ryan Joyce or Stephen Bunting. He faces the winner of their first-round match, which takes place on Tuesday.

Love Island's Anton reveals shocking number of women he's had sex with before deleting post
It comes after explaining why he was single numbers game Love Island's Anton reveals shocking number of women he's had sex with before deleting post Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island alum, Anton Danyluk, claimed to have slept with thousands of people in a now deleted post. Anton, 30, took to his Instagram page to share a reflective post about his "body count" and why he used to be obsessed over the number of people he'd slept with. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Love Island alum, Anton Danyluk, spoke about his body count Credit: Getty 4 He claimed to have slept with 1000s of women Credit: Refer to Caption 4 Anton was paired with Georgia Harrison after last year's All Stars series Credit: Rex "My body count is in the 1000s, here's how I feel about that now," Anton wrote on the post over a photo of himself posing with a former flame on the Baftas red carpet. The Scottish hunk first appeared on Love Island in 2019 when he was coupled up with Belle Hassan and returned for the 2024 All Stars season. He returned to the Love Island villa earlier last year as part of the All Stars cast, where he was famed for some iconic moments including facing off against love rat Mitch Taylor when he told him "be a man, not a boy". In All Stars he coupled up with Georgia Harrison and they placed fifth on the series and continued to date after the show ended before they relationship fizzled out a few weeks later. The couple placed fifth on the All Stars edition of the show earlier in the year. Anton has been linked to many attractive women over the years including new Love Islander Sophie Lee and also Ouzy See, 30, who appeared on the show's tenth series. Since leaving the villa, Anton, has been an open book with fans including experiencing depression after leaving the Love Island villa and losing money in Dubai where he worked as a fitness coach. Anton has now turned his attention to bodybuilding and earlier this year fronted a BBC documentary that explored the growing issue of young men being unhappy with their body shape and whether TV and social media are part of the problem. Last month, Anton explained why he wasn't currently in a relationship. He said on Instagram he wanted to focus on himself and his career. Love Island star strips off completely 'Yes, I went on Love Island. Twice. No, I didn't find love. And no, I'm not crying about it — I'm too busy building an empire and smashing PBs," he wrote. 'Any time I've dated, they've needed more attention than I can give." Anton added: 'They didn't understand the mission. They weren't truly supportive of my journey.' He said: I've been on a few dates but nothing's really come to anything if I'm honest. Georgia and Anton's post-split swipes Just a day after their split was revealed and a source blamed it on the 400 miles between them, Anton shared a quote that said: "If someone truly loves you, distance is not a problem. "It's just the power of making love grow each day." While travelling with his mum in Pisa, Italy, Anton appeared to be looking for the positives in the relationship breakdown. Sharing snaps by the Leaning Tower of Pisa, he wrote: "When things appear to be falling over, step back and see the beauty in it." Most brutally of all, Anton voiced his regret at ever taking part in All Stars. He told fans: "I hated every minute of it. Part of me wishes I had never done it again just because 'cause it kind of ruined my Love Island experience. There were times I just questioned what am I actually doing." Meanwhile, Georgia took to Instagram to share a montage about 'marrying her best friend'. The video showed a couple messing around together, with clips of them singing at a concert, splashing about in a swimming pool and dancing together. The caption said: "Proof you should marry your best friend." Georgia then said: "If it ain't this I don't want it," with laughing emojis, suggesting her latest romance most certainly wasn't that. Days after the relationship ended, Georgia shared a tongue-in-cheek video on TikTok showing her desperately trying to escape any reference to it. Georgia nervously looked over her shoulder and ran through the complex as she was 'chased' by the question "Are you still together?" "It's always difficult dating in the public eye as you never really know people's true intentions. "When it comes, it comes, but there's nothing in the pipeline just yet." 4 Anton said he wants to focus on his career before getting into a relationship Credit: Instagram/@anton_danyluk
