But he stunned darts fans around the world on New Year’s Eve by revealing he won’t be calling the latter stages of the Ally Pally – although it was always part of the plan.
Durrant’s deal with the broadcaster for this year’s tournament only ran until December 31.
He wrote on X: “One more match to commentate tomorrow and then like you watching from Home (pub on Saturday) as a fan.
“It’s brilliant to still be involved in darts and I love my job.
