Darts star Daryl Gurney left stunned at what fan hurled onto stage during post-match interview at Poland Masters

Daryl Gurney was left stunned after a fan appeared to throw an iPhone onto the stage during his post-match interview.

The Northern Irish star had just cruised past local qualifier Dawid Robak 6-1 in the opening round of the Poland Masters.

PDC Europe master of ceremonies Philip Brzezinski was interviewing “Superchin” about his dominant display when both men suddenly stopped mid-conversation and stared down in disbelief at an object that had landed on the stage.

There was a brief moment of confusion before Gurney lightened the mood with a quick joke.

“I think you have a phone call,” he quipped.

Brzezinski then confirmed the bizarre incident to the crowd, saying: “Someone has just thrown an iPhone at us.”

The world No. 23 now prepares to face Ross Smith in Saturday night’s second round in Krakow, where he holds a perfect record from their last three Euro Tour meetings.

Looking ahead to the clash, Gurney said Smith could be an even bigger threat this season.

“I think Ross, last year, with the tragedy of his mother, I feel like that affected his darts,” he said.

“I feel like this year he will get over that, and he showed it in the World Masters with how well he played against Jimmy van Schie.

“I feel like he will be a really big force to be reckoned with in the PDC. He deserves to be in the top 16.”
