Fallon Sherrock stunned Luke Littler to win £501,000 on Netflix's "Beat Luke Littler" live event on Friday, adding another remarkable moment to her darting career.
Sherrock, 32, defeated the two-time world champion in a single leg of 501 at Manchester Central, finishing on double top with her 14th dart to claim the jackpot. Littler had won his previous 14 encounters, before being beaten by the Brit.
It was another major career milestone for Sherrock, who became a household name in 2019 after breaking new ground for women's darts at the PDC World Championship.
Who is Fallon Sherrock?
Born on July 2, 1994, in Milton Keynes, Sherrock has gained the moniker "Queen of the Palace."
She rose to prominence at the 2020 PDC World Darts Championship -- held in December 2019 -- when she became the first woman to win a match at the tournament by defeating Ted Evetts 3-2 in the opening round at London's Alexandra Palace.
Sherrock followed that historic result with a 3-1 victory over world No. 11 Mensur Suljovic, reaching the third round before eventually losing 4-2 to Chris Dobey.
Her performances attracted worldwide attention and catapulted her into mainstream attention within the sport.

What has Fallon Sherrock won?
Sherrock had enjoyed success in women's darts before her Alexandra Palace breakthrough, reaching the final of the BDO Women's World Championship in 2015, where she lost to Lisa Ashton.
In September 2021, she became the first woman to reach a televised PDC final at the Nordic Darts Masters in Copenhagen. She produced an extraordinary comeback from 7-1 down to defeat Dimitri Van den Bergh 11-10 in the semifinals, before losing 11-7 to three-time world champion Michael van Gerwen.
Later that year Sherrock became the first woman to reach the quarterfinals of the Grand Slam of Darts, beating Suljovic and Gabriel Clemens along the way, before falling to a 16-13 defeat against Peter Wright.
She claimed another landmark victory in July 2022, winning the inaugural Women's World Matchplay at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool to scoop a £10,000 prize.
In 2023, she was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the King's Birthday Honours for services to darts, accepting her award at Windsor Castle.
That same year, she became the first woman to achieve a nine-dart finish in a PDC event, accomplishing the feat on the Challenge Tour.
What has Fallon Sherrock achieved in 2026?
In March, Sherrock put a stop to Beau Greaves' record winning streak of 114 matches. Sherrock came up a 4-1 winner in Wigan, with a blistering average of 102.12.
She also reached the Women's World Matchplay final in July, narrowly losing 6-5 to Greaves in a deciding leg, before securing qualification for the 2027 PDC World Championship through her Order of Merit points.
Sherrock does not currently hold a PDC Tour Card, meaning she was eligible to compete in the "Beat Luke Littler" competition.
She was the 15th player to take to the stage in Manchester, where Littler had survived just one match dart prior. She won the throw for the bull before storming to victory in a leg that included a 180.
