‘Last time I confess my feelings’ – Luke Humphries threatens ‘robot’ interviews as he breaks silence on worrying comment
LUKE HUMPHRIES has threatened to become a “robot” in interviews after an honest admission was met with a bit of backlash.
The darts world No1 admitted he may need a break from the sport after becoming drained with the schedule.
Humphries revealed he feels “emotionless” when on stage and said playing can feel like a chore.
However his comments were not warmly received by all on social media, leading the former world champion to threaten that he would not voice his true feelings in future.
He tweeted: “Considering the comments, people not understanding what I meant… Will be the last time I ever confess my real feelings to the public.
“Everything I say or ever do just never seems to be good enough for anybody… as long as no one complains when we all give the same answers in interviews like robots and not our true feelings.
“Then everyone I guess we’ll be happy, or usually will still find a way to moan at us ”
Humphries made his honest revelation after thrashing Dirk van Duijvenbode 6-1 in his opening International Darts Open clash on Saturday evening.
He said he is struggling mentally with the demands of the sport and the constant travel.
The 30-year-old plays on the Premier League circuit every week and appears on the European Tour and Players Championships.

Humphries said of his recent troubles: “When I’m up on stage, I am just feeling emotionless.
“It’s weird and it’s me being honest to all the fans.
“I feel like my emotions are just all over the place.
“It’s not that I don’t want to be here — it just seems a chore for me at the moment.
“It’s just too much darts. I’m playing too much. I think I need a break.
“I’m emotionless and it is not good for my mental state.”
