Stephen Bunting has revealed that his 13-year-old son, Toby, has been subjected to online abuse following Bunting's exit from the PDC World Championship.

Toby was present in the crowd at Alexandra Palace during the event when his father, the fourth seed, was knocked out in the third round by James Hurrell.

Bunting took to the social media platform X to acknowledge the negative comments and the hurt caused to his family by trolling.

He expressed that the hate directed at Toby has been painful for the family, but emphasized their motivation to continue competing in darts and to make their supporters proud.

Looking ahead, Bunting plans to engage in more social activities with his son in the coming year to support him through this challenging time.
