MICHAEL SMITH went on a hilarious Twitter rampage after winning the PDC World Darts Championship.

Bully Boy was crowned champion and world No1 when he downed Michael van Gerwen in Tuesday's Ally Pally final.

Unsurprisingly he was absolutely buzzing last night and could not get to sleep.

Instead, he was tweeting until 5.14am – and then again two hours later.

Smith – who had fans in hysterics by watching Supermarket Sweep before the final – tweeted for the first time after the 7-4 victory at 12.39am.

He posted a picture holding the Sid Waddell Trophy as the tickertape fell and wrote: "Just one quick thing. Never write of [sic] a saint 😍😍😍😍"

He then retweeted support from his beloved St Helens rugby league side – including his cousin Paige in the women's team.

Smith added: "No better feeling then hearing my baby cousin shout that out."

But by 3.37am, the new king of darts was back in his hotel room and teased fans about the 25kg trophy.

His new prize was safely tucked away in a flight case as he posted a photo of his legs on his bed and captioned it: "Can someone take this out the case for me 😳 it’s too heavy 😂"

Smith added another just before 5am, having opened the caseto reveal the silverware with bubblewrap, adding: "When that belongs to you."

But that came after the darts hero moaned about the TV adverts, joking: "Fuming there [sic] on about bad backs. Weres [sic] catchphrase or supermarket sweep?"

And after more retweets, Smith referenced his incredible nine-dart finish in the third leg of the second set – dubbed the greatest leg of all time after Van Gerwen missed D12 for a nine-darter of his own.

Smith said in the early hours: "Probs boring everyone but I’ve watched that 9 about a million times.

"It wouldn’t have even been that good if Wayne Mardle
wasn’t commenting it. What a credit he is to the team."

He rounded off his superb spiel by tweeting St Helens RFC about a possible collaboration with the Grand Final reigning champions.

Smith said: "One thing I really want to do and would love to do is stand on the half way line with the boys with the league leaders and grand final trophy on there [sic] side and the Grand Slam of Darts and world champs on mine with that mighty red V in background."

Fans were loving the social media content and flooded the replies with support for the 32-year-old.

One said: "Loving reading @Michael180Smith's Twitter feed this morning. Proper top fella, humble when we collared him up at Whitehaven away, a worthy champion. Enjoy the moment (there's more to come, I'm sure!)"
