EMMA PATON shot another arrow through the hearts of her adoring fans as the Sky Sports presenter opted for leather trousers on the oche.
The versatile broadcaster had one viewer ‘stand and applaud’ as she performed for Night 8 of the Premier League Darts in Ireland.
She reached Dublin Top among her admirers thanks to a smart but distinctive look as superstars such as Luke Littler battled it out.
Darts enthusiasts went from nerd to cheeky when they swapped talk of feather tips for leather jokes about Paton’s outfit.
“WOW WOW!!!!!! Emma Paton looks absolutely gorgeous and incredible as usual in leather pants!!!!” was a typical judgment from viewers.
The 30-year-old has even received light-hearted marriage proposals online, helped by her cheerful smile and sleek fashion.
And as the Premier League continues to grow in popularity, it has been dubbed ‘incredible’ and ‘absolutely brilliant’.
Many fans would give a pitcher’s arm or leg to see her on their screens more often.
But Paton is already a multi-sport presenter and has also featured in Sky Sports News’ transfer deadline day coverage, WWE and tennis at the US Open.
That’s after seven years in a more backroom role as a Sky journalist, before switching to presenting in 2019.
Now she is welcomed by many dart fans as joyfully as a nine-darter.
“Standing and clapping when Emma Paton is on my screen,” said one enthusiast on Thursday evening.
And her social media following continues to rise, rising from 3,000 on Instagram alone in the past month to 185,000.
Yes, that’s right – in terms of thousands of fans, she has done better than “ONE-HUNDRED-AND-EIGHTY”!
