Martin and Anastasia

Rugby league legend Martin Offiah and reigning darts champion Anastasia Dobromyslova want to lift that Let's Play Darts champion.

Martin ‘Chariots’ Offiah

Martin Offiah is a former professional rugby league player who played from the late 1980’s until the early 2000s. Martin represented both England and Great Britain as a winger.

Coincidentally, he scored 501* tries in his rugby career, making him the third highest try-scorer of all time.

Martin says his darts strength is that he is always up for a challenge and won’t crumble under pressure. His weakness is his lack of experience and his greatest fear when facing the dartboard is missing the board completely.

Martin describes Let’s Play Darts as a challenge where he will be out of his comfort zone. He says if he wins the Let’s Play Darts for Comic Relief trophy, he will display it in his downstairs loo next to his Celebrity Gladiators Runner-Up Trophy which, despite all his rugby medals, is the biggest trophy he’s ever won.
