World Cup of Darts 2025: Full schedule, results, start time, live stream, TV as Littler and Humphries represent England

ENGLAND will be represented by a double dose of Luke this week as Littler and Humphries pair up at the World Cup of Darts 2025!

The men’s England football team failed to bring it home during the Euro 2024, but Luke Humphries and Michael Smith made the nation proud in last year’s World Cup of Darts.

A combination of composure and superb throwing saw Cool Hand and Bully Boy beat their Austrian opponents 10-6 in an epic final.

And it was a result that wrote England’s name in the history books as they now hold the record for the most amount of wins in the iconic competition with five.

Sadly for Smith, his world ranking positioning means he will miss out on the chance to retain back-to-back titles.

However, he has a more than capable replacement of 2024 Premier League winner and teen millionaire, Luke Littler.

Welsh stars Jonny Clayton and Gerwyn Price will pose a huge threat to England’s title, and Gary Anderson and Peter Wright should also fancy themselves.

But as for the Netherlands, they have suffered a massive blow to their chances with Michael van Gerwen pulling out of all upcoming tournaments due to his split with wife Daphne.

When is the World Cup of Darts 2025?

The World Cup of Darts 2025 will get underway on Thursday, June 12.

It will run over four days, concluding on Sunday, June 15.

Mum of three Christine, who finished off her look with a chunky cream fur coat, appeared carefree after The Sun revealed she had confided in Jacqueline Jossa’s partner Dan Osborne about their marriage woes.

The TV star – who was married to comedian Paddy, 51, until their split in 2022 – styled her blonde hair into a relaxed, straight style and kept her make-up fresh, with nude lipstick and thick black mascara.

The Real Housewives of Cheshire alum flooded her Instagram grid with her glam snaps after heading to Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter tour.

In her caption, she wrote: “Last night with BAE’once.

“Honestly @beyonce was the most incredible live show I have ever seen!”

One fan was quick to comment: “Just Wow! You’re a Breathtakingly Beautiful Lady.”

A second posted: “I genuinely have to say, you look truly radiant! How do you keep looking more breathtakingly beautiful than anyone I’ve ever seen?”

Christine was quick to reply, and shared: “Freedom, happiness.”

A third fan then wrote: “So beautiful hope you had a great night.”

BOND WITH DAN

Christine’s outings came just days after her close connection with married TV star Dan came to light.

We reported how the pair previously comforted each other with their respective marital struggles and sent flirty texts.

Model Christine said Dan had joined her for raucous nights out that helped lift her spirits after her split from her radio and TV host husband.

A pal told The Sun: “Dan and Christine have known each other for years.

“Their friendship goes as far back as 2019, when Jac was heading Down Under to the I’m A Celeb jungle, when they had a brilliant night out at a fund-raising gala in London.

January 2018: The couple announced they were expecting their second baby together.

May 2018: News reports that the couple have split with Dan heading off to a Marbella bootcamp when she was 30 weeks pregnant. Dan later confirmed he was living with a friend, and told Daily Star Sunday: “I’m still staying with a mate. I left because we were arguing and it is such a waste of energy.

“The way I look at life is every day spent unhappy is a wasted day, and we were both having a lot of unhappy days,” he added. “I still obviously care for Jacqueline but if we can’t make each other happy then we shouldn’t stay together. Life is too short.”

May 2018: Dan was seen getting close to Gabby Allen, sparking rumours they were now seeing each other during his break with Jacqueline.

June 2018: The couple’s second daughter, Mia, is born.

December 2019: Celebrity Big Brother star Chloe Ayling accuses Dan of having a threesome with her and Natalie Nunn on a boozy night out. Chloe stated in an interview with The Sun that Dan was “making a fool of Jacqueline”.

August 2024: Dan and Jacqueline become victim of a terrifying kidnap plot while they’re on holiday with their daughters. The pair claim £20,000 worth of jewellery and even their girls’ tooth fairy money was stolen.

January 2025: Gabby Allen denies all relationship rumours with Dan and claims they have now completely cut contact, saying she “hopes he and Jacqueline are happy together.”

January 2025: The couple are one again forced to deny split claims, with friends saying they were “upset and hurt” at the allegations after they put their home on the market.

March 2025: The Sun exclusively reveals that Dan has moved out of the home he shares with Jacqueline.

“They stayed in touch sporadically and would bump into each other at events and their messages got pretty flirty.

“Some were seen by mutual friends.

“She would call him ‘D’ in texts and it became an open secret among their circles.

“There is no suggestion anything sexual happened, but it’s fair to say there was a spark between them.”

Former Towie star Dan is adamant nothing happened romantically between the pair, even suggesting that the text messages between them were “deep fakes or AI” when asked.

A pal said: “Dan is devoted to Jacqueline and would hate for any suggestion of impropriety.

“Of course, it’s possible for a man and woman to be mates.”Despite this, Dan has reportedly sent grovelling messages to Jacqueline – with whom he’s trying to repair his marriage to – after the news broke.

Yet the EastEnders actress appeared to show her sadness as she posted lyrics to an emotional song about “not wanting to be seen” shortly after the news broke.
