Us women, we can play darts.

I've got good family support.

I'm just me, a normal person.

I have helped darts in general.

Can I eat bugs? Yes no problem.

Ally Pally has been amazing for me.

I try to help people as much as I can.

I am a normal person from Milton Keynes.

I think I'm an enjoyable person to be around.

I focus on each leg and not what the score is.

I don't see myself at a physical disadvantage.

The women's game has come on leaps and bounds.

I'm quite proud that I've inspired so many people.

I'm so proud to help put women's darts on the map.

I know how to zone myself in and just play the game.

If I saw negative comments I tried to look past them.

When I play on stage, I have to drink a glass of water.

I don't look like the stereotypical darts player, do I?

Trolls online are constantly giving you sexist comments.

If I can be a role model and leader, I am happy to do that.

I got a lot of criticism online and a lot of harsh comments.

I have learned from experience with the BDO and the ladies tournament.

I've made history, I've just beaten one man, who's to say I can't beat more?

I feel really proud of myself for helping to put the ladies' game out there.

Nando's is my pre-match meal. I have the butterfly chicken, mash and coleslaw.

I've always had darts around me growing up because my family has always played it.

Especially with the ladies' game, I have proved we can compete with all these men.

I'm constantly drinking a lot of water to flush my kidneys out. That helps my body.

If I'm in a pressurised situation, I've learned to breathe, chill myself out and be calm.

I could be two sets, two legs down but I wouldn't think that. I take each leg as it comes.

Spider and heights are much easier than beating a man at the Ally Pally, any day of the week!

About six months after I had my little boy in April 2014, I ended up getting a kidney disease.

Whatever happens in women's darts in the future I will be able to think I helped to achieve it.

There's more women who can play like me if not better and we just need more recognition really.

I don't take any notice of negative stuff said on social media. If anything it spurs me on more.

My son is going to grow up looking at the newspaper cuttings and thinking, 'Wow, my mum did this.'

I feel I can concentrate a bit more on playing darts now people are just seeing an equal playing field.

To any young women out there who might be thinking about taking up darts, I would just say, 'Go for it.'

Every time I play darts I try to keep my poker face on and stay focused until that last dart has gone in.

I know I've probably got a massive target on my back now, because everyone wants to be better, to beat me.

The sky is the limit now, us women are showing that we can beat men and hopefully it will open more doors.

It's nice if I am called a role model, because I never thought that I would be a role model for anyone else.

The sport has come on - we do not just play in pubs any more and there are massive international competitions.

I practise about three to four hours a day and I will play one night a week, or at the weekend in a competition.

I hope I've done women's darts proud, put women's darts on the map and given it the recognition that it deserves.

When I went to Q school, I was walking into a tournament where 500 other players all wanted the same thing as me.

In the sport itself it's fine, but online I have had constant sexist comments saying women are not as good as men.

You always get the odd comment, along the lines of the women are not as good as the men, and I get called a lesbian.

We just do not get the recognition or the opportunity to play against these men, so obviously you don't see it that often.

I've beaten two of the best players in the world, and if that doesn't say that women can't play darts I don't know what can.
