The inspirational host revealed on social media that just before the World Championship begun on December 15, she was unwell in hospital.

Davies said: “Went to The Priory the day before the World Championship started.

“Final question before I left: ‘Can you promise you’ll keep yourself alive over Christmas?’

“So yeah, proud for doing what I needed to, to deal with anorexia/suicidal thoughts.

“Posting this for everyone in the same boat. We’ve got this.”

Fans and colleagues hailed Davies, saying: “Huge credit to you in your honesty about your own personal mental health. Keep being you, you’re doing great things!”

Another wrote: “You should be very proud of yourself on many levels. You did a brilliant job at the darts. All power to you.”

More added: “Amazing coverage over the duration of the whole tournament. One of the few sports journalists whose talent is natural for all to see.”

A fourth commented: “What a fantastic empowering message. Well done, you’re an inspiration.”

Davies first started working for Sky Sports in 2017.

She worked her way up from a runner to a reporter.

Davies is now a familiar face to darts fans and football supporters as she is often seen around the grounds on Soccer Saturday.
