Darts star Gerwyn Price has discovered a new way to get battered after his dustbin-lid headphones stunt \u2013 he's opening a fish and chip shop.<\/p>\n

The 'Iceman' whipped up a storm by wearing industrial ear defenders to try and block out the noise of a hostile crowd at Alexandra Palace last winter, but he now admits it made the problem \u201c10 times worse.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u200cBut the former world No.1, who is branching out into cod, haddock and plaice in a new takeaway venture in his home village of Markham, insists he has no regrets about those cans \u2013 even though some hostile critics thought he was a right pollock for doing it.<\/p>\n

Darts royalty John Lowe, a three-times world champion, accused him of turning the tournament into a \u201cpantomime.\u201d Price goes into the Paddy Power PDC Darts World Championship, which starts on Friday night, as one of the favourites, even though his only triumph at Ally Pally was behind closed doors and the only boos were on the soundtrack of piped-in crowd noise.<\/p>\n

\u200cCome on, people, give the man a break. He only resorted to the headset accessories because punters were going beyond drunken refrains about the Welsh getting \u201cbattered everywhere they go\u201d and trying to distract him on game shots.<\/p>\n

That's what made Price, 38, jump out of the frying pan and into the deep-fat fryer in his shock quarter-final defeat by German giant Gabriel Clemens on New Year's Day, when the former champion went from cod almighty to being knocked off his perch.<\/p>\n

He can laugh about the cans now, saying: \u201cIt's something I would do again \u2013 it shouldn't happen on that stage, but I did what I did and I can't do it again because they are banned now. The PDC said no more headphones.<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually want to do a walk-on wearing them and a hi-viz, then take them off to play, but the PDC wouldn't know which way it would go.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon't get me wrong, I don't regret it \u2013 footballers lead out mascots with autism wearing headphones (as a gesture of solidarity), and I had so many messages off parents with autistic kids who absolutely loved it. There were obviously more negatives than positives, but if there were one or two positives to come out of it, happy days.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would do exactly the same thing again, but did it block out the crowd? No \u2013 if anything, it was 10 times worse. But I was just trying to prove a point.\u201d<\/p>\n

Price tried his headphones gimmick when he trailed 3-1 against Clemens, but he disposed of them after only one set and settled for airline-style earplugs instead as he crashed out 5-1.<\/p>\n
