Rob Cross has addressed the seemingly obscene gesture he made during Monday’s shock defeat to Scott Williams at the World Darts Championship.
2018 champion Rob Cross crashed out in the second round as he lost to last year’s semi-finalist.
And much of the focus after the match was one moment rather than the upset itself.
Cross was seen making what looked to be rude gesture to someone in the crowd as he made his way off stage during a break in play.
The Brit appeared to imitate a sexual act and it was all caught on the Sky Sports cameras.
Cross has now broken his silence on both his defeat and the incident, writing on social media: ‘massively disappointed to lose out to my friend Scott Williams. Good luck to him for the rest of the tournament.
