Speaking to Rapid Ricky shared who his celebrity crush was growing up.
He said: “. She’s up there. Emily Atack because it was back in the day and everyone watched [The Inbetweeners].
“Alison Hammond something about her I don’t know why. She’s like the weird random crush.”
The Kettering thrower also revealed he has come close to walking away from darts on several occasions during his career.
But Evans insists his belief has never wavered even if his celebrations might need some work.
He said: “Yes I do. I wouldn’t play darts if I didn’t believe. The amount of times I have said to my management, dad and family I quit, I am not going to play anymore.
“Then the next day the love for the game comes back. We all say stuff in the heat of the moment.
“I’m quitting darts, I ain’t playing anymore. As a kid I used to say it every week.
“There’s always them fairytale stories when you dream growing up I still believe I can lift the trophy.
“I still believe I am going to win one and drop the trophy, that’s how weird I am. I just believe I am going to drop it and it is going to smash to smithereens.
“Someone is going to come along with the hoover or something. I don’t play not to win.
“But I reckon it could be a whole thing of when Michael Smith won his first and then he won the next one.
“Maybe winning a ProTour, that is what I believe. If I win a floor event, that will be the catalyst for me to do well on TV.”
