• ‘I’ve been shown no respect … I’m going to go home’
• Ian White jokingly calls Luke Littler ‘Runcorn’s No 2’

Joe Cullen stormed out of his post-match press conference after accusing the media of a lack of respect following a 3-0 second-round win over Wessel Nijman at the PDC World Championship.

The 2022 Masters champion, who will face 2021 winner Gerwyn Price next, gave short answers during a tetchy on-stage interview at Alexandra Palace. Bradford-born Cullen then vented his frustration at reporters backstage before departing prematurely.
