Stephenson said: “I’m really looking forward to this great event at the Amex.

“I’ve played on stage before when I represented Surrey and Sussex at county darts, but I’m sure nothing will compare to this.”

Van Barneveld, who is currently taking part in the Premier League with Wade and Thornton, is looking forward to the event in Brighton.

He said: “I’m really looking forward to returning to Brighton with a top line-up of players. All four of us have played there before in the Premier League.
