And Voltage was in fine form from the throw line.

Cross romped into a 4-0 lead, before setting himself up to go 5-0 ahead.

Starting from 170, Cross bagged two treble-20s, sparking excitement from commentator Mardle.

Mardle said: “Oh he couldn’t. Well he could. Come on then.”

As Cross prepared to throw his final dart, Mardle added: “Do not split, do not split!”

But Cross proceeded to land his dart on an 18, which triggered fury from Mardle and sparked boos from the crowd.

Mardle fumed: “Well I have no time for that whatsoever.

“6,000 people pay good money Rob and you don’t care.”

Price pulled back the next leg to make it 5-1.

But hopes of a comeback were quickly dashed as Cross claimed the seventh leg for a resounding 6-1 win.

After a 6-2 win for Luke Littler over Michael Smith, Cross then beat Littler 6-3 in the semi-final.

Cross was then thrashed 6-2 by Nathan Aspinall in the final.
