Fallon Sherrock comes clean over difficult year after Cameron Menzies break-up and son’s health troubles
Fallon Sherrock Opens Up on Difficult Year After Cameron Menzies Split and Son’s Health Struggles
Fallon Sherrock has spoken candidly about a challenging period in her personal life, admitting the past year has tested her resilience both on and off the oche.
The trailblazing darts star, who helped redefine women’s darts on the biggest stage, revealed that her split from fellow professional Cameron Menzies coincided with serious health concerns involving her son — a combination that made the year one of the toughest she has faced.
Sherrock explained that balancing professional commitments with personal responsibilities proved emotionally draining. While she continued to compete at the highest level, including appearances at the World Darts Championship, her focus away from the stage was often elsewhere.
“It’s been really hard”
Speaking honestly, Sherrock admitted that the emotional strain affected her mindset and preparation. Darts, a sport that demands intense concentration, became harder to manage while dealing with family worries.
Despite the challenges, she stressed that her priority was always her son’s wellbeing, even if that meant accepting dips in form or stepping back mentally from the spotlight at times.
Strength behind the scenes
Sherrock has long been praised not just for her performances at Alexandra Palace, but also for her openness about the realities of life as a professional athlete and parent. Fans have often highlighted her honesty as one of the reasons she remains such a popular figure within the sport.
She acknowledged that support from close friends, family and the darts community helped her through the most difficult moments, allowing her to keep moving forward during an uncertain period.
Looking ahead
Now, Sherrock says she feels more settled and hopeful about the future. With personal matters stabilising, she is keen to refocus fully on her darts career and rediscover the form that once made her one of the most feared competitors on the World Championship stage.
Her story has resonated with many supporters, serving as a reminder that even elite athletes face profound challenges away from competition — and that perseverance sometimes matters more than results.
As Sherrock looks ahead to the next chapter, fans will be hoping brighter days lie ahead, both for her family and her return to top form on the oche.
