The World No39 faces dangerous American Leonard Gates in his opening clash at the Ally Pally on Monday, the winner facing a prize clash with Nathan Aspinall.
But Menzies is quick to admit that he has been winging his way to stardom since a post-pandemic date with the ‘Queen of the Palace’ in her favourite fast food restaurant.
The Scottish ace, 35, revealed: “Covid was a hard time for a lot of people. I didn’t pick a dart up, I hated it. I started playing golf instead. It was the only thing we could play because it was outside.
“Covid was a bad time. I lost my love for darts. When it calmed down and darts came back again, that’s when I started seeing Fallon. Then it was darts crazy. Practice all the time and that definitely helped.
“We were friends for years and then I was down at the Modus Series. On the way back up we went for something to eat that day.
We were just friends but that was the start of it. It was a KFC. It was her choice, she likes a KFC.”
On falling in love over a Bargain Bucket? He laughed: “It was just a couple of mini fillets. Love at first sight!”
Rangers-daft Menzies also admits that Sherrock is a huge inspiration to his rise to success over the past year.
He added: “I remember being with Fallon when she was getting all the cameras and autographs and remember thinking: ‘I want that’.
