Paton transitioned to the presenting role in 2019.
In an exclusive conversation with SunSport earlier this year, Paton shared her insights on working in the vibrant darts atmosphere.
She explained: “It becomes incredibly loud. At times, it truly feels like a wall of sound.
“There are instances where I genuinely can’t hear what Wayne Mardle, Mark Webster, or John Part are saying. I can’t even catch the director’s instructions in my ear.
“I have to depend on hoping we’re synced on the running order and that nothing has dramatically changed.
“Working alongside Wayne has been advantageous; he’s always been there for support. He’s someone who genuinely wants to elevate those around him.
“He’s like the Gary Neville of Sky Sports Darts—engaging, with unparalleled analysis and captivating stories!”
