A WACKY video of Stephen Bunting at his most bizarre best has emerged – just as his popularity hits new heights.
But The Bullet has also revealed why he FIRED himself from the extraordinary singing and dancing extravaganza behind the clip.

But he became a Tiktok star a decade ago with Bird is the Word’
Fans preparing to watch Bunting take on teen hero Luke Littler in the World Darts Championship semi-finals were distracted by a flashback clip of him performing “Bird is the Word”.
Looking youthful a decade ago, the now 39-year-old put on an incredibly energetic display as he copied Family Guy main character Griffin.
Bunting sparked hysterics in the background with his animated impression of Griffin, who made the song a running gag in the popular TV show.
The Bullet has explained he earned a large sum from using The Bird is the Word as his walk-on act for a while.
He also became a TikTok hit and saw Griffin pick up on it – with spectacular results.
Bunting told talkSport it “started off with a bit of fun with his son”.
And on Wayne Mardle’s YouTube show Club 501 he added: “The Bird Is The Word, I got paid a lot of money to change my walk on to that.
“It was all well and good at the time but I was more nervous in thinking more about the walk-on than I was about playing.

So, It sort of affected my game.”
Happily, Bunting’s current walk-on tune maintains the family connection as it’s “Titanium” by Guetta featuring Sia – for his son.
The X account which posted the oche ace’s old clip added the words: “Indomitable spirit of the Englishman. What real men are made of.”
Bunting certainly needed all of that as he headed in to battle with fellow North West star Littler.
