NATHAN ASPINALL was spotted egging on the Ally Pally crowd to sing an X-rated chant about Keir Starmer.
We previously told you how Sky Sports were forced into censoring fan chanting after a songbook was aimed at the Prime Minister.
He was targeted again as fans sang “Keir Starmer is a w*****” loudly at Alexandra Palace during the match between Aspinall and Leonard Gates.
After throwing his latest three darts in the second set of his 3-0 win over the American the crowd noise was growing louder and louder.
Asp could then be seen encouraging the crowd as he moved his arms up and down in a motion to suggest they should keep it up and louder.
It is not the first time the broadcaster has intervened to drown out chants.

“I think he knows that.
“He’s been talking to me an awful lot in the hotel over the last couple of days, but he’s a great player.
“He’s a great player, he’s a really nice guy.
But I think if someone starts throwing decent darts at me I’ll respond and that’s what I think is going to happen.”
