Bunting sensationally beat Nathan Aspinall,and Gerwyn Price toclinch glory last night.

And the fans' favourite took to social media the following morning and replicated ‘s iconic snap of him laying in bed with the World Cup after victory in Qatar three years ago.

Bunting captioned his post with a touching message to his wife and two sons – but could not resist making a cheeky joke.

He wrote: “OMG. WOW. What can I say. This trophy has to be one of the best I’ve been in bed with 😂😂.

“From the sheer turmoil of not winning a game in the first eight weeks of the , to then winning three on the night and claiming night nine in Berlin.

“What an amazing feeling. I’m so proud I showed grit and determination and I never once gave in.

“It’s always a great feeling when you bounce back off the canvas and the sweet taste this has left gives me massive confidence pushing forward.

“I’d like to thank my family (Keila, Toby & Theo) who have been inspiring me to keep believing even when things go wrong.

“Massive thanks to my manager who’s always there through thick and thin and we are a great team together.

“Massive thanks to my sponsors who put their faith in me to be the best I can be and I’m proud for your support guys.

“And last but by no means least… a huge huge thanks to the fans, I know supporting me can sometimes be difficult and rest assured that whenever I go up on the stage or to the oche I always give 110 per cent.

“This victory isn’t just for me guys, you all share this with me and I can’t thank you all enough. You really are an inspiration every time I step on the stages.

“The ‘let’s go Bunting mental' chant is so loud now and the walk on... what can I say... it leaves me so emotional that you guys sing it back in such a way it warms my heart. I love you all.”

The Liverpudlian's victory in the pocketed him £10,000 and it stopped him equalling an unwanted record.

Failure to beat Aspinall in his opener last night would have seen him match ‘s run of 13 consecutive games without a win in the Prem.

Bunting's drought dated back ten years from his one previous appearance in the competition in 2015.
