The World No.10 kicked up a stink in a clash with fellow veteran star Wright in Leicester.
Wade let rip during his 6-5 win over 'Snakebite' to reach the quarter-finals on Tuesday afternoon.
Wright stepped back and laughed uncomfortably - but Wade's joke quickly backfired when the match caller told him the clash was being televised LIVE.
Referee Owen Binks then informed the players: 'Oh boy, okay then… This is a streamed match guys.'
Wade claimed: 'It slipped out.'
And then added: 'Give it a second.'
Wright thought it needed more than a second though, and Wade tried to prompt him back onto the oche, saying: 'Go ahead. Do you want nine more arrows?'
It's not the first time the 42-year-old has passed wind during a darts match.
He did the same less than a year ago in September 2024, also at the Players Championship.
On that occasion he claimed it was his SHOES that made the noise.

He wrote on social media: 'I feel I must address a situation following my run to the semi-finals of PC22 today.
'Footage has emerged of me doing what appears to be a 'shart' at the end of one of my matches.
'It was actually the Velcro on my new trainers. I now consider this matter put to bed as don't wish to talk about it again.'

South Korea lift bizarre little-known 26-year ban on signing foreign goalkeepers
The K League are making moves to get in line with everyone Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A 26-YEAR ban on foreign goalkeepers in South Korea's top soccer league has been lifted effective from the start of the 2026 season. Only Korean goalkeepers have been allowed to play in the K League, the oldest professional domestic league in Asia since 1999. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Kim Seung-gyu played in the K League before securing a move to the J League Credit: Reuters 2 Jesse Lingard plays in the Korean League for FC Seoul Credit: Rex The rule was originally introduced to protect homegrown talent when there were only 10 professional clubs. Following a board meeting in Seoul this week, the K League announced that with 26 professional clubs now competing across the top two tiers, there's enough room to accommodate international goalkeepers. The increase in the number of clubs means there are sufficient opportunities for domestic goalkeepers to play, even with the inclusion of foreigners. The board said in a statement: 'Starting in 2026 clubs will be permitted to register foreign goalkeepers. "The K League previously restricted their participation beginning in 1996 and introduced a full ban in 1999. "To encourage the development of domestic goalkeepers as most clubs at the time relied on foreign players in the position. "We have considered the fact that, with foreign player registrations restricted, the salary increase rate of domestic goalkeepers has risen disproportionately compared to outfield players.' There have reportedly been concerns over a shortage of quality keepers in the country due in part to the expanded size of modern rosters which typically include three or four goalkeepers. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK The decision to lift the ban is now expected to directly increase the number of foreign players in the K League. The move also brings the K League in line with other major Asian leagues, such as those in Japan, Saudi Arabia, and China. Iraq striker Aymen Hussein SENT OFF for bizarre grass-eating celebration after goal in Asian Cup Another rule that was introduced last season was a homegrown classification for youth players of foreign nationality who have spent a significant period developing in South Korea. If a foreign player has been registered with a domestic amateur team for three consecutive years, or a total of five years, before signing their first professional contract, they are now classified as a domestic player and will not occupy a foreign player slot.

Still Game icon appears in incredible new mural in Glasgow city centre
They've been painted on a wall next to Queen Street. FAMILIAR FACE Still Game icon appears in incredible new mural in Glasgow city centre Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MURAL dedicated to an iconic Still Game character has appeared in Glasgow city centre. The sitcom favourite kept fans entertained during the show's run from 2002 until 2019. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Fans were impressed with the artwork. 3 The mural was sadly vandalised soon after being painted. 3 Winston is one of the most popular still Game characters. Credit: BBC And now Winston, played by funnyman Paul Riley, 55, has been immortalised in a new artwork. Now Still Game fans can catch a glimpse of their favourite grumpy man all over again - as he's been painted on a wall next to Queen Street. Local artist Tef captured the telly pensioner's signature grimace in a piece that has been praised by punters and co-stars alike. He shared a video of his work on social media with the caption "Stevieee" - a nod to Winston's comical rivalry with Stevie the bookie, played by Matt Costello. Gavin Mitchell, 60, who plays Bobby the Barman, was quick to praise the mural. He posted a series of emojis to signify the famous "two prints p***k" catchphrase that's synonymous with the series. One fan said: "Love this!! We need an Isa one next." Another supporter wrote: "This is class - we need the full set." A dedicated viewer added: "Looks like the face he's making when he's on the back of the bus in the Dial-a-Bus episode." And an impressed follower quipped: "My dog is named after Winston. "I need to find this so I can take a picture of it with my dog." Still Game star Paul Riley's showreel ahead of stand-up tour Sadly vandals defaced the mural shortly after it was completed. Terf hit headlines last month when he painted another mural of a comedy character. He paid tribute to comic Brian 'Limmy' Limond by spraying his sketch show character Dee-Dee onto the side of a building next to Yoker Ferry. It's a nod to a popular episode of the programme where he goes on a mysterious adventure to the Glasgow district.

Scottish Premiership fixtures: Spicy opener, controversial new rule, Rangers bid to buck trend, Oasis impact

As someone pointed out on X, Hamilton Accies based at Broadwood, formerly Clyde's home, and Clyde playing at New Douglas Park, previously Hamilton's HQ. And only one Saturday 3pm kick off in the top flight on the opening weekend of new season, the thirteenth since the Scottish Professional Football League was established. Welcome back to the crazy world of Scottish football. A new season fixture list that is more of a suggestion than a schedule given the number of games that will likely need to be moved due to European football activities still managed to deliver a variety of talking points, including the new rule which allows all teams involved in European play-off round clashes to request a postponement of their matchday three clash on the weekend of 23/24 August without consulting the opposition. In short, an invitation for some early controversy and quarreling. Delicious! Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Some things though are set in stone. Russell Martin's Rangers revolution will kick off in the league at Motherwell at 5.30pm on Saturday 3 August. At least the pressure won't already be on the Ibrox side – Celtic do not begin their defence of the title until the following afternoon when hosting St Mirren, which – fitness permitting – is when Kieran Tierney is due to make a return to competitive Scottish football.

(Photo by Craig Foy / SNS Group) | SNS Group Still, Martin could do with securing an immediate three points, something Rangers haven't done on the opening weekend since defeating Livingston under Giovanni van Bronckhorst in 2022. In each of the last two seasons they have been in catch-up mode following the opening weekend. In both cases they were looking for a new manager before the season was out. Clearly Martin is hoping to buck this trend. Much might depend on what happens between now and the league kick-off when it comes to signings, although whatever happens on that front Rangers' Champions League fate will also be a lot clearer by then. They will either be already out and preparing for a Europa League qualifier or they will have given the Martin era a boost by having overcome Panathinaikos in their Champions League second qualifying round tie. 'We've got a lot of work to do, physically, tactically….the players haven't even been in the building yet, they come back on Monday,' Martin told Sky Sports as he reflected on Rangers' league programme schedule, which one can imagine some fans already taking issue with. 'Monday?! Celtic were back this week!! Idlers. Sack the board!' Note to Rangers supporters: Calm down, Celtic are not back in training and aren't expected to return to Lennoxtown until the start of July. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Delaying bleep tests and the like for a little longer feels very sensible given the sweltering conditions. Still, if it's not an inappropriate image to evoke as Scotland bakes under a pitiless sun, the publication of a new season's set of fixtures is like waking up to find newly fallen snow outside – it will never not enthral. Rangers head coach Russell Martin will hope to improve fortunes at Ibrox following a tough domestic campaign last season. Cr: SNS Group. | SNS Group Away from Rangers and Celtic, who I am contractually obliged to note meet for the first time in the new season on 31 August at Ibrox, Dundee will entertain Hibs at Dens Park - and yes, it's officially back to being called Dens Park – on Sunday 4 August. Steven Pressley's return to top flight Scottish football as manager of the hosts is sure to be a fascinating affair, as much for the reaction of the fans – both sets – as anything. But perhaps the first real box office clash of the new league season is on Monday 4 August at Tynecastle, where Hearts host Aberdeen. This fixture is always one to look out for but new Hearts manager Derek McInnes against his last-but-one team adds some added spice, even if it is a bloody Monday night. Still coming down from the high of a Scottish Cup win, Aberdeen fans might not be bothered about that inconvenience. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It does underline the difficulties when it comes to producing a balanced set of fixtures and one that satisfies everyone in all four divisions, which of course is never possible. The SPFL have worked in conjunction with GotSport, a sports management platform based in the United States. A 'fixture recipe', based on information and restrictions provided by the SPFL, is fed into an obligatory 'supercomputer' and out of it emerges things like East Kilbride v The Spartans, with the two newest SPFL teams meeting on the first Saturday at K-Park. Hearts will begin their league campaign against new manager Derek McInnes' former club Aberdeen. | SNS Group The supercomputer has its work cut out. Even the fact Oasis have reformed ends up having an impact, which is not something the Gallagher brothers probably considered when ending their feud. Due to the band's concert at Murrayfield on the weekend of the second round of fixtures, Hearts have been scheduled to play away – against Dundee United. It is not the only match between Hearts and Dundee United that has been impacted by events at the neighbouring rugby arena. The first meeting of the two clubs at Tynecastle next season will be played on Sunday, November 9 due to the Autumn Test between Scotland and New Zealand taking place at Murrayfield on the Saturday.
