Darts stars are now enjoying this adrenaline rush each Thursday night in cities across the UK.But being paid to throw darts in front of raucous crowds is a remarkable contrast to the traditional jobs many players used to have.And as we approach night three of the Cazoo Premier League at The SSE Arena in Belfast, we take a look at the different gigs these darting pros paid their bills with before making it to the oche.Peter Wright’s name is now indelible in darting history after becoming a two-time world champion earlier this year.And despite now being a multi-millionaire, his journey to the top has been rocky.He said goodbye to the sport not long after qualifying for his first World Darts Championship in 1995.Desperate for cash, he fitted windows, hauled concrete fence posts and grafted on building sites and holiday camps.He then had a stint on the dole before returning to darts almost 20 years after his first appearance.And Wright - who also changed his name to 'Snakebite' - is now reaping the rewards.Who will win this year's Premier League?

BBC Breakfast turned tense on Thursday morning (February 17) as presenter Jon Kay shut down his co-star in an awkward row.Jon was joined by co-presenter Naga Munchetty and sports correspondent Mike Bushell on the red sofa to discuss the sporting issues of the day - including the ongoing Winter Olympics.Mike began by telling his co-stars: "Team GB have a huge chance of guaranteeing a medal..."But Naga soon interrupted: "Well, you've said this..." as Mike finished: "I know, A fair few times, but this is it because they do have their semi-final against the USA at lunchtime today."Mike continued to explain his reasoning, adding: "Now the Brits have only lost one of their nine matches, and yes, that was to the USA.""Oh Mike, Mike!" Jon moaned, as Naga struggled to find the words to express what she was thinking."But there's hope!" Mike insisted, adding: "They're in better form than they were in the Round Robin match because they're top of the group, their tails are up, they've got the form and momentum. Momentum is everything in sport!"But Naga wasn't impressed, as she said: "Your narrative over the Winter Olympics has been fabulous - because in the early days it was, 'Naga - too early!

How many have you got, and are you all [presenters] having a bobble hat off?"Katherine admitted: "Well I went to PyeongChang four years ago with two bobble hats, and that was a mistake. Because it turns out you're on TV every single day and you want a bit of variety!"She went on to explain: "So I've brought seven bobble hats with me out to Beijing.
