World champion darts player Luke Humphries has arranged a special VIP experience for a young autistic darts fan who was severely bullied.
The world No. 1 has been hailed as an anti-bullying crusader after stepping in to help 14-year-old Alex McGarrie from Stockport.
Alex's bullying was so severe that his parents were forced to remove him from school.
Touched by the teenager's plight, Humphries organised a dream night for the young fan after learning about his situation on social media.
