Every time I play darts I try to keep my poker face on and stay focused until that last dart has gone in.

If I'm in a pressurised situation, I've learned to breathe, chill myself out and be calm.

I haven't taken into account how much I drink. I do drink a lot when I am on stage anyway. You will see me come back and have sips of water. I haven't taken into account how much.

I could be two sets, two legs down but I wouldn't think that. I take each leg as it comes.

There are women who can play at my standard, if not better, and they can beat men, too, so it would be nice to see them do it as well.

I know I've probably got a massive target on my back now, because everyone wants to be better, to beat me.

I started taking medication to weaken my immune system because that is what was attacking my kidneys. The problem was when I went on different medication, I suffered side effects. And the side effects caused 'moon face,' where my face swelled up. It was a reaction.

The sky is the limit now, us women are showing that we can beat men and hopefully it will open more doors.

When I play on stage, I have to drink a glass of water.

I focus on each leg and not what the score is.

Especially with the ladies' game, I have proved we can compete with all these men.

I feel really proud of myself for helping to put the ladies' game out there.

Spider and heights are much easier than beating a man at the Ally Pally, any day of the week!

I'm just me, a normal person.

I never get really nervous.

I definitely think I can use the crowd to my advantage.

There's more women who can play like me if not better and we just need more recognition really.

Us women can beat these men, we just need more opportunities to prove ourselves.

Who's to say I can't beat anyone?

I've made history, I've just beaten one man, who's to say I can't beat more?

Being included in just the U.S. Darts Masters was amazing enough but to now be able to go worldwide is something I could only dream of.

I'm so proud to help put women's darts on the map.

The sport has come on - we do not just play in pubs any more and there are massive international competitions.

As long as you put the effort in with your practice, the muscles in your arm stay relaxed and mental preparation is all it takes.

In the sport itself it's fine, but online I have had constant sexist comments saying women are not as good as men.

I practise about three to four hours a day and I will play one night a week, or at the weekend in a competition.

I feel I can concentrate a bit more on playing darts now people are just seeing an equal playing field.

I started playing when I was about 16, and I got picked for the England youth team when I was 17 because I was doing quite well. It's all spiralled from there.

When I was 15, I used to go with my sister to her youth games because she was really good.

It sounds really bad but I never actually wanted to play.

I'm just a normal person.

Every little bit of hate just gees me on to do better and prove them all wrong.

It made me a stronger person, and more determined. I don't know if I'd still be as strong if I didn't have all that hate. I needed hate to make me more determined.

The men I've played are all respectful and gentlemen towards me. I've never really had a problem. In the past a lot of people would go: 'We're playing a woman.' But now they're thinking: 'We're playing a good player.'

Against the men I have a point to prove. So I have more determination whereas, when I'm playing the women, we know each other's games so well. I need that extra boost just to prove to the men we can compete against them.

I have helped darts in general.

We just do not get the recognition or the opportunity to play against these men, so obviously you don't see it that often.

I don't see myself at a physical disadvantage.

The women's game has come on leaps and bounds.

I got a lot of criticism online and a lot of harsh comments.

I have learned from experience with the BDO and the ladies tournament.

Nando's is my pre-match meal. I have the butterfly chicken, mash and coleslaw.

I've beaten two of the best players in the world, and if that doesn't say that women can't play darts I don't know what can.

I'm not going to dwell on what someone has said if it doesn't affect my life. I think that attitude helps to strengthen my character.

If I saw negative comments I tried to look past them.

Ally Pally has been amazing for me.

About six months after I had my little boy in April 2014, I ended up getting a kidney disease.

I'm constantly drinking a lot of water to flush my kidneys out. That helps my body.

My son is going to grow up looking at the newspaper cuttings and thinking, 'Wow, my mum did this.'

I don't even know what a feminist is.
