Luke Humphries has been earmarked as a rising star for some time by darts followers. But during the PDC World Darts Championship, he made himself known to the world.

Humphries emerged as one of the breakout stars of the World Championship, defeating Adam Hunt, Stephen Bunting, Dimitri van den Bergh and defending world champion Rob Cross en route to the quarter-finals. Michael Smith put an end to the fairytale, before going on to finish runner-up to Michael van Gerwen.

Almost two weeks after his momentous Ally Pally run came to an end, the 23-year-old sat down with Dartsnews.com for an exclusive interview. As well as looking back on his World Championship adventure, Humphries discussed the PDC Development Tour - which laid the foundation for his big stage success.
