GERWYN PRICE admits he took his eye off the bull to open a fish-and-chip takeaway - and got battered every week.

The Iceman enjoyed a comfortable passage into the third round at the Paddy Power PDC World Championship with a 3-0 whitewash of Keane Barry at Ally Pally.

Never mind the pollocks Price, who has endured a barren 2024, only realised how much he missed the thrill of the big time when he was sat at home last month during the Grand Slam of Darts, a competition he has won three times, after failing to qualify.
