However, on this third trip to the oche in the leg, he completely missed the treble 20 and instead hit one.
The crowd sarcastically cheered in response, sparking a hilarious reaction from both Humphries and his oppenent, Nathan Aspinall.
World No1 Humphries turned around to the crowd and held his hand up with a smile to apologise.
Aspinall couldn’t help but laugh before stepping up to the oche for his turn.
Humphries went on to win the semi-final 10-7 against the Asp.
As a result, he set up a final meeting with Luke Littler for the second year running.
Littler held off Gerwyn Price to win 10-7 at the 02 Arena in London.
After the match, the Nuke said: “When he (Price) hit the double five to go 6-4 up I took myself straight off stage, I needed to get myself up for it.

“The first five or six legs I was nervous and going into the break 6-4 down was not what I wanted.
“I knew, especially after last year, that I love coming on after a break so I relaxed myself and I got the job done.”
