Controversial darts star who LICKED Luke Humphries caught in another disgusting act - leaving rival stunned At this week’s Players Championship in Leicester, darts fans witnessed another bizarre moment involving world No. 9 James Wade. While facing Peter Wright in a last-32 clash, Wade unexpectedly farted just as Wright approached the dartboard to collect his darts. The moment caught everyone off guard — including Wright, who paused and uttered Wade’s name while laughing, clearly stunned by what had just happened. Referee Owen Binks responded with surprise and offered Wade the option to take a short break before continuing the match. Wade refused and opted to keep playing. The match was being live-streamed, making the incident all the more awkward for those involved. This is not the first time Wade has attracted attention for unusual behavior. He’s known as one of the more controversial figures in darts, often overshadowing his performances with offbeat antics. Tuesday’s fart, while light-hearted to some, again raised questions about his conduct during matches. His actions disrupted play and added an unexpected twist to the tournament, even though the incident ended in laughter rather than confrontation. Fans were quick to pick up on the scene online, spreading clips and reacting to yet another bizarre moment in the darts world. Wade’s ability to distract and amuse whether intentional or not continues to make headlines on and off the board. This particular incident adds to his long list of eyebrow-raising behavior that divides opinion in the darts community.

James Wade’s latest on-stage flatulence isn’t the first time he’s found himself at the center of darts-related controversy. Earlier this year at the UK Open, Wade shocked fans when he licked Luke Humphries on the neck before a match, leaving many viewers appalled and sparking debate over acceptable sportsmanship. Not long after that, he kissed Raymond van Barneveld on the cheek, again stirring up frustration among fellow players. Van Barneveld appeared clearly uncomfortable, and there were even visible complaints made toward the referee over Wade’s actions. Going back further, Wade was also suspected of farting during a different Players Championship match in September against Callan Rydz. After finishing the game, video footage showed Wade bending slightly while walking away, followed by what sounded like a fart. The clip went viral, prompting Wade to publicly deny the act. He issued a statement online, humorously explaining that the sound came from the Velcro on his new shoes, not from him personally. “I now consider this matter put to bed,” he wrote, hoping to end the speculation. These incidents have solidified Wade’s reputation as one of the most unpredictable figures in darts. While some fans find his antics entertaining and a refreshing break from the often serious nature of professional sports, others feel his behavior is disrespectful and crosses the line. Despite the backlash, Wade remains unapologetic and continues to play his own way. Whether he intends to be a comic relief or is simply being himself, Wade has managed to keep his name in the spotlight though not always for his dart skills. His recent and past behavior has made him a divisive figure in the sport, but one thing’s for sure: darts fans never know what to expect when James Wade steps on stage.
