Josh Rock is ready to wash his hands of Belgian soap after blaming last week’s Premier League hammering in Antwerp on a pre-match visit to the toilet.

The Irishman lost 6-2 to Michael van Gerwen in the quarter-final of night two of the weekly roadshow and revealed he could not grip the darts properly.
