Fuming Michael van Gerwen storms out of interview saying ‘figure it out, bye’

MICHAEL VAN GERWEN was left fuming with an interviewer following his early Premier League exit on Thursday.

The Dutchman was beaten in his first round clash with Luke Littler bringing his night in Nottingham to a premature end.

Van Gerwen was comfortably beaten 6-2 by the teenage sensation making it FIVE consecutive losses on the bounce for the world number two.

It's the first time MVG has been on receiving end of five defeats in a row for over 12 years.

However he still put in a good display during the match averaging an impressive 110.94, and perhaps that was why he showed frustration when being interviewed live on TV by broadcaster Viaplay.

Following his defeat he was asked about losing five times on the bounce and gave a frosty reply to the interviewer.

He said: "If you want to make it negative, you have to do it nicely. That this has never happened before?

"Then you never looked at me, of course that has happened before."

The Green Machine then dropped one last line before disappearing off-screen and leaving the interview.

He said: "So if you want to make it negative… figure it out, bye."

Van Gerwen is still positioned well in the Premier League table despite his defeat to Littler.

He sits second in the standings thanks to his three consecutive night wins at the start of the season in Berlin, Glasgow and Newcastle.

For now he will have to shake off the frustration of a defeat to the in-form Littler and focus on his next clash.

Van Gerwen takes on Gerwyn Price in his quarter-final match-up next Thursday as the Premier League heads to Dublin.
