Fallon Sherrock has revealed the heartwarming way in which she plans to spend the half a million pound fortune she won after triumphing in Netflix’s ‘Beat Luke Littler’ event.

The 32-year-old was crowned champion the streaming giant’s first foray into darts last month after she defeated the double world champion in a one-off leg of 501 to claim a mammoth £501,000 prize.

Sherrock’s victory was not without its controversy, however, given this was not her first foray into the limelight as she created history by becoming the first woman to win at the World Championship when she made the third round seven years ago and she went on to break several other barriers in the game.

Her inclusion in the line-up for the TV show, attracted criticism as her stature in the game dwarfed that of the other competitors who had been looking to topple Littler, even if she met the criteria for applicants because she does not hold a PDC Tour Card.

The fallout of a landmark success, which saw her land a prize pot only bettered by the £1million Littler earned by winning last year’s World Championships, has been toxic in places, but Sherrock has far bigger concerns to contend with away from the oche.

Indeed, aside from dealing her own health issues, Sherrock has been raising her autistic son, Rory, 12, who will be the significant beneficiary of his mum’s newfound wealth.

‘I can make Rory’s future solid now, Sherrock told The Times. ‘I don’t know where I’m going to be in a couple of years due to my health, and I just want to make sure he’s OK.

‘I will need a [kidney] transplant at some point and that’s why I wanted to have Rory’s life sorted.

‘The money, everything will go on him. I’m not bothered about what I spend on myself.
