Darts champion by day - shift worker by night
The number one female darts player in the world is a night shift worker during the week.
Deta Hedman has over 80 ranking titles to her name, spanning across four decades. But there's no rest for the 56-year-old when she's not winning championships.
She told 5 live's Phil Williams she only books a week off for a tournament: "I only work Monday to Friday so I fit in my 39 hour week and on the Friday I just travel to wherever I need to go."
Deta is currently playing in the BDO World Championships at Lakeside.
