She hit Dublin Top with her admirers thanks to a smart but distinctive look as superstars like Luke Littler battled it out.

Darts lovers went from geeky to cheeky as they swapped talk of feather tips for leather quips over Paton's outfit.

"WOW WOW!!!!!! Emma Paton looking absolutely gorgeous and incredible as usual in leather trousers!!!!" was a typical verdict from viewers.

The 30-year-old has even received light-hearted marriage proposals online, helped by her cheery smile and sleek fashion.

And as the Premier League hots up, she's also been called "unbelievable" as well as "absolutely stunning".

Many fans would give a thrower's arm or a leg to see her more often on their screens.

But Paton is already a multi-sport host, having also featured on 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 moving to presenting in 2019.
