This is Up Front with Simon Jordan. A new show brought to you by William Hill that pulls no punches and tells it EXACTLY like it is.
James Wade is one of the most iconic names in the modern darts era. A supremely talented ‘leftie’, James burst onto the scene at the age of 24 when he became the youngest player to win a major PDC title. He has since gone on to win a total of 10 major titles but not without his fair share of controversy.
A fiery competitor, it was only a late in life diagnosis of bipolar and ADHD that led to James becoming fully aware of the reasons behind his sometimes erratic behaviour. Now an ambassador for Bipolar UK, James opens up about his incredible career and the bumps in the road along the way.
