STEPHEN BUNTING has completed a super-rare feat that only TWO other players have ever managed.

The Bullet has been in fantastic form in 2025 as he has won two Players Championships, two European Tour titles, and two World Series of Darts.

This effort has only been managed twice before by Luke Littler and Michael van Gerwen.

Littler managed to achieve the stunning feat last year while Van Gerwen did it in 2016, 2017 and 2019.

Bunting completed the achievement with his victory over Luke Woodhouse in the Swiss Darts Trophy final.

It was the penultimate event of this year’s European Tour ahead of the German Darts Championship later this month.

Bunting put the victory down to his change in footwear as he swapped his normal shoes for some SPIKEY TRAINERS.

He said: “I’m playing the best darts of my life. I feel consistently that I’m delivering even in spiky shoes.

“I’m so happy with this win, it means a lot.

“I’m No4 in the world. It shows how consistent I’ve been.

“But you can’t take anything for granted in this game. These players are hungry.

“I need to keep on my toes, keep on the practice board, make sure I stay humble.”

After beating Chris Landman on Saturday night, he explained his shoes dilemma, saying: “I was playing in expensive shoes without the spikes, and they were marking.

“So, my idea is use the spikes and they won’t touch the oche and they will last a lot longer.

“And if someone upsets me, they will get one of them in the back!”

BIG Brother has announced four new housemates after booting one out hours after the launch night.

Hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best returned to host the civilian series on Sunday with 12 stars entering the ITV house.

It was revealed to be the youngest cast EVER on the ITV2 reality series with just two of the 12 housemates over the age of 27.

But hours after the launch political events manager Emily Hewertson was booted from the house.

Now four more housemates have joined the mpressive line-up. Let’s take a look at the newcomers…

Cameron, 25

Personal trainer Cameron, from Bolton, has been watching Big Brother with his mum since he was 10 years old, and this year he’s finally decided to give it a go himself.

The cheeky chap, who stands at 6’5” tall, says he’ll be bringing “Energy. A bit of annoyance. And maybe a bit of controversy”, during his time in the house.

But he’s most excited about the experience as a whole, admitting he loves competition, but is equally excited about the “no phone, no contact with the outside world” elements of the show.

He continued: “I feel like it’s pretty interesting – a once in a lifetime thing.”

Cameron reckons he’ll be nominated for being “too loud or being an annoyance”, but if he manages to scoop the £100,000 prize pot, he joked he’d “put it all down to win the league on Bolton”, before clarifying he’d spend some on a holiday and invest a chunk, as well as using some to “give something back to the community”

Feyisola, 33

Financial investor Feysola, from London, decided to give Big Brother a go as she’s “obsessed with game shows”, having watched BB in her childhood.

The 33-year-old, who’s “obsessed with the Spice Girls”, fancies herself as a bit of a taskmaster, as she’s “really good at tasks and quizzes”.

It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the financial investor, who admitted she’d been ill “for the last few years”, and after starting to feel better, she decided “now’s the time”.

She reckons she’ll be nominated for snoring and “talking too much or talking to myself”, the latter of which she admitted is “really odd”.

But if she makes it all the way to £100K, she plans to “buy something ridiculous for my cat”, along with treating her nieces and nephews to a holiday – but for Feyisola, who suffers from Crohn’s colitis, a charity donation marks her most personal prize pot spend.

George, 23

Parish councillor George, from Braintree, says he initially applied to the show in order to meet people from “different walks of life”, and reckons “Big Brother looks like a laugh.”

The 23-year-old, who admitted it’s “unusual” to be a parish councillor at his age, hopes to play “devil’s advocate” in the house, while also being able to “contest people’s views on things”.

But on the lighter side of things, George reckons he will be the “life and soul of the party”, but admitted that he could see himself up for nomination for “ruffling feathers”.

He added: “If I think something swims against the tide and goes against the status quo I will say it – especially in this sort of setting because it’s the prime opportunity to explore new views.”

But if he glides through to the final and scoops up the six-figure prize, he’s revealed a sweet way he intends to spend the money.

“My first and foremost priority would be getting my parents mortgage free because that sort of thing matters”, he said.

Richard, 60

Composer and author Richard, from London, made a spur of the moment decision to apply for the show, but admits as soon as he hit send, he thought “what have you done?”

But the 60-year-old says he’s now excited to enter the Big Brother house, despite believing there’s only an “outside chance” he can win the show.

He said: “Most people who would watch this show are going to be at the younger end of things and are going to identify more closely with the younger housemates.”

Still, the composer, who revealed he is the adoptive father of an adult refugee son, says it “would be quite a coup if I did carry it off”.

He reckons that he’s most likely to be nominated for his abundance of dad jokes, which “will probably get on people’s nerves”.

But if he bags the £100K prize money, Richard is in no rush to buy a Lamborghini, opting instead to invest in an ambitious classical music project with a young guitarist.

McIlroy and Co handled abuse from the partisan American crowd during the highly-charged weekend on Long Island.

After clinching victory, Team Europe stars partied long into the night.

As revealed by The U.S. Sun, the victorious team racked up an amazing $310,000 (£230k) bar tab.

This included an incredible 120 bottles of Moet & Chandon Brut Imperial champagne.

Before going out, Team Europe enjoyed some banter with US president Trump.

With McIlroy holding his phone in selfie mode, he led chants of “Are you watching Donald Trump?”

Far from offended by the cheeky song, Trump shared the video on Truth Social.

The 79-year-old added, “Yes, I’m watching, congratulations!”

Victorious skipper Donald, 47, later revealed how the song came about.

The Englishman said, “Rory got a text from the President while we were in the dressing room.

“He read it out to us and he’s like, ‘let’s do the video with the funny chant and send it back.’

“That’s what we did and he sent out a reply to the world. It was just a bit of banter.”

Trump attended the Ryder Cup on Friday alongside golf-mad granddaughter Kai.

The New Yorker headed to Long Island from the White House on his Marina One chopper.

During his visit, Trump greeted several players while also whipping up the passionate crowd.

The president’s presence saw security measures ramped up at Bathpage Black.

Large lines formed outside of the beefed up entrances, with many fans missing opening tee on Friday.

Ex-secret service agent Donald Lane estimated that the extra security measures likely cost $10m.

Lane told The U.S. Sun, “In some places, you will have metal detectors set up where people would have to put belongings in a tray and go through X-ray machines.

“You may have folks wanding and asking if they can see IDs.”

SKY SPORTS viewers were left in stitches at Duncan Ferguson’s blockbuster appearance on Monday Night Football.

The trio were discussing the appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo at West Ham, with Ferguson recalling how he completed his Uefa B coaching licence alongside the Portuguese coach in Scotland.

Ferguson, 53, said: “He was a fantastic coach. He was that pernickety on the detail.

“When you were doing your coaching drills, he’d move you around.

“So say if you were a centre-back and you stepped into position, he’d go, ‘You get there. You stand there, son.’

“He’d do that with every player. Even me!”

Ferguson was seen bizarrely moving around Jones to illustrate his point, grabbing the host by the shoulders and positioning him to stand in certain spots.

Jones appeared stunned by the move but couldn’t hold back a smile and eventually a laugh.

He then quipped: “That’s a lifetime ambition, being thrown around by Duncan Ferguson!”

A second said: “Hahaha.”

A third added: “Poor Dave Jones never stood a chance.”

Another said: “Absolute legend.”
