Eloise Milburn was caught on camera crying after boyfriend Luke Littler lost in the final of the World Darts Championship on Wednesday night.
The 16-year-old enjoyed a stellar tournament at Alexandra Palace but, in the end, was unable to secure the top prize.
Luke Humphries reigned supreme instead, with the 28-year-old winning the title at the seventh time of asking.
It was a sensational night for both players, as well as the fans in attendance.

But it was an emotional rollercoaster for Milburn, who cheered her boyfriend on from the sidelines.
Footage from Sky Sports showed the 21-year-old crying in the aftermath of the result.
Images also showed Milburn looking tense as she watched the action unfold.
News of the couple's relationship broke earlier in the week, with the pair reportedly meeting while playing FIFA on Xbox.
The pair are believed to live 200 miles away from each other.
Yet they do have a big common interest in darts, with Milburn an amateur player herself.
She currently plays at the Walton Working Men's Club which is close to her home, while she also represents the Surrey Women's darts team.
A source told the Daily Mail earlier in the week: "Eloise loves playing darts and FIFA and so does Luke and they've got a lot in common.
"They started speaking on Xbox and things just developed from there.
"She's a great girl and is a very decent darts and FIFA player herself so you could say that they make the perfect couple because Luke is also very passionate about both things.
"She's very proud of his achievements and is supporting him all the way."
There has, however, been criticism of the relationship due to the five-year age gap.
But Milburn's mother, Amanda, has taken issue with internet trolls and insists her daughter isn't with Littler for his money.
"There’s been a lot of horrible stuff being posted online about my daughter and my husband Phil and I are very angry about it," she said.
"Eloise has been accused of all sorts and that she’s only with Luke because of his money and fame.

"But that’s a total pack of lies and disgusting.
"She’s not with him for any of these reasons.
"She doesn’t care about his money or his fame, she’s with him because she likes him. It’s as simple as that."
She added: "It’s really hurtful when we read these comments, many of them from so called darts fans.
"My daughter is none of these things that these vile people are making out.

"She’s a lovely young girl who is in a new relationship and people should allow them to get on with things.
"Eloise has made it clear that she doesn’t want us going because she thinks things are still at an early stage between her and Luke.
"They’re in a growing relationship, not a very serious one although that might come later.
"I have asked her for tickets because me and Phil would love to see Luke in action, but Eloise just says: ‘Mum, please, I don’t want you meeting him just yet, it’s too soon.'
"I’ve never been to the World Darts Championship, and you would have thought that I’d be able to get a ticket now that my daughter is dating Luke, but sadly that’s not the case."
