- Rob Cross lost 3-1 to Scott Williams in the second round at the Ally Pally
- Cross was seen making what appeared to be a rude gesture toward the crowd.
2018 champion Rob Cross was eliminated from the World Darts Championship in the second round and appeared to make an obscene gesture to the crowd during the loss.
The fifth seed was beaten 3-1 by last year's semi-finalist Scott Williams, who will now face Germany's Ricardo Pietreczko in the third round.
Cross joined a growing list of highly ranked players to exit this year's tournament early.
Their defeat means a record 14 seeds have been eliminated in the second round.
And he clearly wasn't happy at all as he walked off stage to take a quick break after one of the sets.

Cross took the first set against fellow Englishman Williams, a surprise Ally Pally semi-finalist 12 months ago, but 'Voltage' ran out of steam after that.
Williams completed the next three sets as a grueling afternoon session ended less than 20 minutes before midnight.
Meanwhile, Ricky Evans survived a dart against him to defeat sixth seed Chisnall in an epic second round clash decided by a sudden death leg.
Jonny Clayton won a sudden death match in the deciding set to overcome Mickey Mansell and book his place in the third round.
Clayton will face Daryl Gurney next after the Northern Irishman came from behind to beat Florian Hempel 3-2 in a pulsating contest.
Gurney, the 26th seed, leveled the match with a checkout of 156 and recovered from being 2-1 adrift after Hempel claimed a third-set shutout.
Hempel's partner, German Ricardo Pietreczko, put on a clinical display (he hit 56 percent of his doubles) to beat 28th seed Gian van Veen 3-1.
PDC Asian Tour leader Alexis Toylo lost 3-1 to Krzysztof Ratajski and 18th seed Josh Rock recorded a 3-0 victory over Welsh debutant Rhys Griffin.
