DARTS legends sent messages of support to axed walk-on girls Charlotte Wood and Daniella Allfree.
The fan favourites were among models ditched from accompanying stars to the oche on TV in a daft PC move by the Professional Darts Corporation, we revealed on Saturday.
Ian “Diamond” White shared a Sun-backed petition to reinstate them. And Chris Mason said he would “open the show in my pants” to protest.
Married mum-of-one Daniella, 30, of Chesterfield, Derbys, said: “It is so humbling the amount of support we have received.
“We’ve also had a lot of women messaging us to say they thought we are such good role models.
“They say they love our glamour and what we bring to the show.”
Charlotte, 29, added: “It is just overwhelming. It shows that the fans really do want us and how this is PC gone mad.
“Now we just hope they will reverse the decision and let us back.”
