LUKE HUMPHRIES admits he had “wobble” as being honest on social media backfired.
The World No1 opened up earlier this month during the International Darts Open, saying he felt “emotionless” on stage due to tiredness and needed a break from the sport.

But Cold Hand then received a backlash from fans online and said the next day: “That’s 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.”
Humphries has won the World Masters so far this year.
And he has been remarkably consistent in reaching six of the 12 Premier League nightly finals, winning two of them.
But in an interview with Sky Sports’ Polly James and Stuart Pyke this week, he confessed it had been a tough moment to deal with.
He said: “It doesn’t matter what line of work you are in, you can get tired.
“We are all the same. We all work hard, feel down and a bit tired.

“I went through a little wobble. That’s what we do in life.
“Sometimes it’s nice if some people are nice to you in that moment. It’s hard to go through.
“Mentally I felt OK. I just felt a bit tired. I’m happy to be here and go again.
“Some times you say things that don’t do you any favours.
“That’s why it’s best off not to say anything at all.
“I do understand that you do have to give a bit to the fans.
