Darts player Fallon Sherrock delighted fans by dressing as a glamorous version of Ronald McDonald for Halloween, just days after appearing as Raggedy Ann. The 32-year-old shared photos of her colourful costume on Instagram, drawing praise from her supporters.

Sherrock will soon trade her fancy dress for a darts shirt as she prepares to face Luke Littler in Manchester. She is among 24 contestants selected for the Netflix live darts special titled Beat Luke Littler, which takes place on Friday, October 30. A prize of £501,000 is available for anyone who defeats the world champion.
