MUSIC star Olly Murs was brutally BOOED when he was shown on the big screen at the World Darts Championship – after previously claiming fans need to “grow up”.
The Heart Skips a Beat hit maker, 41, was at Ally Pally for the 13th day of the tournament.
He was treated to a massive upset after two-time world champion Peter Wright was knocked out by amateur ace Arno Merk.
But Murs was not made to feel welcome after those in attendance this afternoon BOOED him when he was picked out by the cameras and put on the big screen.
And an awkward tweet from January 2018 resurfaced after he felt the ire of those around him.
Murs was watching Phil Taylor’s World Championship clash with Rob Cross when he posted a critical message on X – and it came back to bite him today.
He said: “People at the darts screaming ‘Boring, Boring Taylor’ honestly grow up!
“You’re watching a true great at his sport. He didn’t win 16 world titles being boring.”
Cross went on to win that showdown with Taylor in the Final, allowing him to become world champion on his debut appearance.
Murs also saw Ryan Meikle, Callan Rydz and Jermaine Wattimena book their place in the last 32 today.

Murs recently revealed that he is ready to start sparring ahead of a potential boxing debut.
