The Canadian thrower was trailing by four legs to two when he left 170 on the board to snatch a leg back and pull himself back into the match.

In front of a crowd waiting in anticipation, Campbell was laser focused as he hammered in the two treble 20s and the bullseye.

The world number 55 bellowed towards the crowd in celebration, before he was smothered by Menzies who gave him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek.

The crowd were certainly relishing the moment, but fans watching online seemed to think that Menzies’ reaction was a little over the top for a Big Fish.

On social media, one wrote: “A fist bump would do Cam…”

While another added: “Someone tell Cameron that fist bump is enough”.

Others were bang up for showing the love after a moment like that on stage.

A third commented: “What’s wrong with that, he’s probably known most of them for years anyway. Plus he’s a good sport.”

And a fourth posted: “You’ve got to think these players are more than likely mates, not just two randoms playing each other”.

However, Menzies was quick to realise that his over-excitement would come back to bite him, as it was that 170 from Campbell that kickstarted his comeback.

Campbell won five of the remaining seven legs and went on to win the match 6-5, knocking Menzies out in the process.

Now the affectionately named “Ginja Ninja” will take on another Scot in the next round, booking a match against Peter Wright in the last 32 of the competition tonight.

Elsewhere, Luke Littler will begin his efforts to retain the title he won last year.

The Nuke takes on world number 19 Ryan Searle in his opening match of the tournament.

The 18-year-old sensation is coming off the back of yet another nightly Premier League win, as he brushed aside Chris Dobey, Nathan Aspinall and Michael van Gerwen to bank himself another £10,000 in prize money.
