    A Ripon man with more than 290,000 followers on TikTok has won the first ever Modus Super Series influencer darts championship.

    Charlie Murphy defeated a fellow influencer known as Pieface in Portsmouth on Sunday (April 28).

    Mr Murphy started creating videos on TikTok over a year ago about his weight loss journey and his passion for Manchester United.

    He now also makes videos on darts, featuring his catchphrase ‘easy now’, which led to him being invited to the tournament. He also plays darts in the local pub league in Ripon.

    In total, his videos have received almost 10 million likes on TikTok.

    In a TikTok video posted before Sunday's event, he said:

    “I’m really looking forward to it, really nervous but I am just going to enjoy it and give it my all.
    "I don’t know how I’ve gone from throwing darts in my bedroom shouting ‘easy now’ to being invited to play here in a tournament with other influencers and professional darts players. What a fantastic place.”


    The event was Mr Murphy's first tournament in front of a crowd and the most viewed Modus Super Series livestream ever.

    Modus Super Series is a weekly darts competition streamed on YouTube involving non-Professional Darts Corporation card holders which includes an influencer/creator charity event.

    The event raised more than £1,400 for the charity of Mr Murphy's choice, which was Cancer Research UK.
