IT IS not just Luke Littler and his fellow throwers lighting up the World Darts Championships.
But the famous dancers are also bringing plenty of glamour to Ally Pally over the festive season.
And there is one in particular who some TV fans may recognise.
That is because Lacey Edwards is among the troupe keeping fans and players entertained with their pom poms in hand – three years after her appearance on Love Island.
Lacey, 29, featured in series eight of the ITV show alongside Michael Owen’s daughter Gemma and Laura Woods’ fiance Adam Collard in 2022.
The Swindon sweetheart entered the villa on Day 45 as a bombshell contestant.
And she wasted no time coupling up with Deji Adeniyi.
However, her time at Casa Amor in Mallorca lasted just four days.
Lacey and Deji were voted out as the “least compatible” couple by their fellow stars.
And so it proved as the couple had split up by the time of the wrap party.

Lacey said: “I really, really enjoyed my time in the villa.
“It was definitely short and sweet.
“I was very excited to be entering as a bombshell, it was really, really fun and I was excited to see if I could turn anyone’s heads.
“There was a lot of strong couples in there but I’m glad Deji found me attractive – and I did my job.”
But just a few weeks later, she admitted they were still in regular contact.
Lacey added to The Sun: “Right now it’s just really difficult to see each other but me and Deji face time pretty much every day.
“We’re still talking, he just hasn’t asked me out on a date yet – I’m not happy about that. I’m waiting for it and I keep hinting. Dej come on!”
Lacey made her Ally Pally dancing debut at last year’s World Champs after successfully auditioning for the role.
And PDC bosses were clearly impressed by what they saw as they invited her back for another year at the oche.
She is now a member of the official PDC Darts Dancers group.
Away from the darts and her other roles as a professional dancer, Lacey works as a flexibility coach and pilates instructor.
She regularly posts stunning snaps from her workouts, dancing, holidays and dates with her boyfriend James on her Instagram, which has more than 35,000 followers.
