Mark Webster Cleared to Return to Premier League Darts Commentary on Thursday

He remains in treatment for hairy cell leukaemia during his monitored recovery.

Overview

  • Webster, who posted on X Tuesday, said he has been cleared to work Thursday in Birmingham.
  • He has been off the air since night one in Newcastle on February 5, when treatment forced him to pause his Sky Sports duties.
  • Slow white blood cell recovery and a weak immune system led doctors to delay a planned Brighton return last month.
  • Hairy cell leukaemia is a rare blood cancer that often responds well to therapy, and Webster said about 95% of cases go into remission.
  • The 2008 BDO world champion is now a key voice on Sky Sports and ITV darts coverage, so his comeback restores a familiar presence for viewers.
