SUPERMUM Fallon Sherrock only realised she had done something special for women’s sport when tennis legend Billie Jean King sent her congratula­tions on Twitter.

As the new Queen of Alexandra Palace absorbed the enormity of her Christmas miracle, Sherrock gasped: “Who would have thought someone like that would tweet me?

“I mean, I am me! I am just a normal person from Milton Keynes. This stuff doesn’t happen to normal people, it’s incredible.”

The truth, of course, is that a hairdresse­r from Bletchley, who sprays graffiti all over the bookies’ odds of 2,000-1 at the William Hill PDC World Championsh­ip, is not just a ‘normal’ girl next door any more.

Sherrock had already made history by becoming the first woman to beat a bloke at the World Championsh­ip when she knocked out Ted Evetts in the first round. But by toppling Austria’s world No.11 Mensur Suljovic 3-1 on Saturday night, with the fancy dress battalions at Ally Pally reaching fever pitch, she has elevated herself into the superstar bracket.

Six-time Wimbledon champion Mrs King does not send personal messages on social media to any old Tom, Dick or Harriet. As a standard-bearer for women’s rights and humanity, she knows her onions.

And whether she likes it or not, Sherrock is no longer just a darts player who won the nation’s hearts on primetime TV in the Christmas party season.

She is now a champion of the sisterhood and sporting mums. All for winning two games of darts – brilliantl­y.

Most people thought she would bow out gracefully when Suljovic came calling. But never mind going out with a whimper, we’ve got the crimper.

Sherrock’s finishing – landing 69 per cent of her checkouts – was sensationa­l.
