    The 63-year-old underwent cardioversion surgery – a medical procedure that uses a controlled electrical shock to restore a normal heart rhythm.

    The operation appeared to go well as Warriner-Little shared a photo with his thumbs up.

    He wrote in the caption: “Cardioversion done and successful, hopefully going home in an hour or so.”

    Warriner-Little had a successful darts career before quitting the oche to become a pilot.

    He proved a consistent feature in the PDC World Darts Championship – reaching seven quarter-finals plus the semis in 1999 and 2003, losing on both occasions to Phil Taylor.

    And he was World Matchplay runner-up to Taylor in 1997 and 2000.

    However he did taste success in the World Grand Prix, winning the competition in 2001 as he thumped Dutchman Roland Scholten 8-2 in the Dublin final.

    Warriner-Little called time on his career in 2009 – barring a brief cameo on the seniors tour in 2022.

    These days Warriner-Little is still involved in darts, though, as a TV commentator and chairman of the PDPA players’ union.

    Now he gets his thrills in the skies thanks to his other passion – aeroplanes.

    He has shared photos on social media of life in the cockpit, posing wearing his headphones and sunglasses, with another showing him proudly standing outside with the aircraft.
