Olly Murs was booed by fans at the World Darts Championship on Tuesday when he was shown on the maxi screen - after an old tweet resurfaced.

The Troublemaker singer, 41, was at Alexandra Palace for the 13th day of the tournament.

But fans didn't appear to be welcome the singer warmly as he was booed just shortly after an old tweet from January 2018 resurfaced, according to the Daily Star.

In the tweet, Olly referred to Phil Taylor's World Championship clash with Rob Cross. 

The English music star, who is a huge darts fan, wrote on the platform at the time: 'People at the darts screaming "Boring, Boring Taylor", honestly grow up!

'You're watching a true great at his sport. He didn't win 16 world titles being boring.'

Earlier during the event, Olly was snapped downing a beer as he enjoyed a day out at the darts.

The singer, who welcomed his second child with wife Amelia in September, was in good spirits as he stood up from his table to drink his beer while the crowd cheered him on.

The Troublemaker hitmaker threw his arms in the air while cheering on England's Ryan Meikle as he took on New Zealand's Jonny Tata in round two of the championship.

Olly looked worlds away from parenting life as he enjoyed the boozy day out with friends. 

It comes after Olly opened up about how 'tough' it has been being away during his son Albert's early days. 

The couple are parents to 19-month-old daughter Madison and welcomed a baby boy, Albert, in September.

Speaking on Heart Breakfast earlier this month, he said that he had promised his wife Amelia that he would be more present in the new year with their two children.

Olly recently returned to music with his new album Knees Up and has been busy promoting his new project.

Joining Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston on the radio show, he discussed how he's found juggling a young family with his career.

Olly explained: 'The last few weeks I’ve said to Amelia, "It’s been really tough."'

He continued: 'Because my album came out last week so I’ve been promoting that, then obviously this, and now I’ve got a Christmas song coming.

'I did say to her "I promise you darling it is going to be a bit more quieter next year and I’m going to be around a lot more and then you’re gonna hate me even more".'

Olly praised his 'unbelievable wife' Amelia last month as she posed in underwear to celebrate her postpartum body after giving birth to the couple's second child.
