Ted Hankey had the perfect response after he was interrupted by the first ever female darts streaker on stage at the Lakeside Country Club during the 2001 BDO World Darts Championship.The Count, who came into the tournament as the reigning champion and seventh seed, was drawn to take on qualifier Shaun Greatbatch in a first-to-three first round encounter.With Hankey cruising into a 2-0 lead and stepping up to begin the third set, a naked woman ran onto the Lakeside stage while throwing her hands up in the air and disrupting the match.Despite the champion being willing to play on, he saw how unsettled his opponent had become and agreed to take a 20 minute break after the streaker had been removed by security staff.The woman, who got a standing ovation from the crowd, before being was removed from the premises, was credited as being the first ever darts streaker by BBC Sport.Hankey said of the incident after wrapping up the contest: "I'd just stepped up to throw when I heard everyone shouting."The girl ran across in front of me and then went round the far end of the arena."I was comfortable and wanted to go on playing but I asked Shaun and he wanted to go off.Who was in charge, Ted Hankey or the streaker?

Give us your thoughts in the comments section"It's taken a lot off the victory for me. "Everyone seems to think it's a big joke and a good laugh, but we wait 12 months to play here and Shaun's broken-hearted because it was his first time here and he didn't perform."It interfered with the game.

I won't blame security because the boys do a great job. They might look at it and decide to do something about it but I certainly won't blame them."With Greatbatch admitting: "I've been watching darts for 20 years, waited 18 years.
