Darts bosses axe model walk-on girls from televised events
The models, who escort players onto the stage and up the oche, have been a regular feature of the Professional Darts Corporation tournaments around the world.
The Professional Darts Corporation has confirmed that walk-on girls will no longer be used at its events, effective immediately.
Players participating in this weekend's Unibet Masters event in the United Kingdom will not be accompanied by the famed walk-on girls.
Women have accompanied players onto the stage for some years - something which has been regularly criticised - and the PDC has chose to act, starting at this weekend's Masters in Milton Keynes.

"Walk-on girls in darts has been traditional for years and so many things in this world that was tradition has been scrapped", said the petition.
Raymond Van Barneveld, however, is against the ruling, and is supporting a petition calling for the practice to be reinstated. It does not interest me (walk-on girls).
