Wins, walkouts and wrong turns with darts' biggest character Stephen Bunting grew up throwing darts in smoky Merseyside boozers, sneaking into pubs under his hood as a twelve-year-old, and learning to count by chalking scores on the side of his wardrobe. Now he's one of the most beloved players in the fastest-growing sport on the planet. His walk-on to 'Titanium' sees grown adults singing their hearts out in arenas from Belfast to Berlin. This is the true, unvarnished story of 'The Bullet': BDO World Champion, PDC Masters winner, Premier League giant-killer. But behind the pyrotechnics and the sing-alongs, this is a story about grit. About a lad from Fazakerley who nearly threw it all away - through the gambling debts, the wilderness years, the local league night where he couldn't hit a double and rang his manager from the car park to say he was 'done'. Bulletproof is about a dad who plonked his kid on a bar stool and changed his life. It's about a baboon in a Basel zoo, chinning a chicken and using a trouser press to warm sausage rolls.
And it's about what happens when you refuse to give up on the thing you love most. Featuring Bunting's exclusive behind-the-scenes view of the professional darts tour, this is the incredible and hilarious story of life on tour from one of the greatest personalities in the game. With over 800k followers across his hugely successful Instagram, TikTok and YouTube accounts, Stephen Bunting is one of the most popular and engaging of all the players on tour.
