Fallon Sherrock is a World Darts Championship history-maker - and could blow Ally Pally’s roof off again should she pencil in a date with Luke Littler.
The Milton Keynes-born thrower flung herself into the limelight in 2019 when she defeated Ted Evetts and subsequently Mensur Suljovic to become the first female player to beat a man at the competition.
Since then, she has graced the Grand Slam and Premier League stages, hit a televised nine-darter - the first female player to do so - and was bestowed with an MBE.
Now, her return to Alexandra Palace promises something special. Should she prevail past a difficult opponent in Ryan Meikle, The Nuke would await. Mirror Sport takes a dive into Sherrock’s life away from the oche as her date with destiny approaches, including her relationship with another darting star, net worth and health scares.
What is Fallon Sherrock's net worth?While she has only earned £210,521 in career earnings, according to the PDPA, Sherrock is estimated to have exceeded the £1million mark from sponsorship agreements based on her Ally Pally success.
Sherrock has yet to win a ranking title on the PDC main circuit, which makes her quickly-amassed fortune - the exact value of which is unknown but likely in the healthy six figures - all the more impressive.
Yet, she has lifted a Women’s World Matchplay trophy and enjoyed major success in the WDF - reaching the BDO ladies' World Championship final in 2015.
Who is Fallon Sherrock dating?Having first met playing on the Modus Super Series, Sherrock and her current partner, Cameron Menzies, have swiftly become darts’ power couple. From playing over Zoom during the pandemic, the relationship is something that both admit has improved their respective games, with Glasgow-born Menzies in particular reaping the rewards.
“Sometimes, we play each other, and the winner decides who does the dishes or if we get the Chinese... As you can see by my size, I usually win! Don’t get me wrong, being with Fallon has improved my darts tenfold," he said.
“I’ve been with Fallon three-and-a-half years and you can see my darts have improved tenfold in the last three-and-a-half years. But despite how much I love her and how much I want her to do well… I don’t like losing to her!”
Menzies has had the greatest year of his career in 2024, entering the world’s top 40 and making a deep run at the Grand Slam. Sherrock, too, has had a stellar year, winning three Women’s Series events, qualifying her for another crack at Ally Pally, and the chance to play the face of the sport in Littler.
What are Fallon Sherrock's health struggles?Despite her success at the oche, Sherrock has been battling illness for some time. Diagnosed with a kidney disease almost a year ago, Sherrock opened up about her struggles.
“I'm still having to manage the illness,” she told the Daily Star. “My kidneys are only working to 23 per cent of their capacity, and I have to maintain them at that level because if it went down to 15 per cent, you're looking at dialysis.
“I used to have medication lined up in a row of bottles, but now I'm just on calcium tablets for my bones, sodium tablets for my kidneys – about three per day. I also need an injection once a week, which is self-administered, plus a blood transfusion every six months or so to keep the iron levels up.
“If you saw how much water I drink every day, I probably drink more than I should, but I don't think people realise how tired I get. I can be busy, busy, busy for four or five days on the trot, but as soon as I stop, that's me done – I'm wiped out for a week.”
