For most people, marriage proposals are carefully curated events, with plenty of thought, meaning and effort going into it.But Justin Hood is not like most.Hood typically marches to the beat of his own drumGettyInstead of taking his now-wife Jess to a scenic location or laying out a path of roses before popping the question, the darts star dubbed ‘Happy Feet’ (although not for much longer) opted for a, well, let’s just say a rather unique approach that speaks to his crazy character.In the latest episode of talkSPORT Darts’ Around The Clock, Hood bared all – quite literally – on how he asked Jess to marry him.Under the Hood“Yeah, the ring got delivered,” Hood said.“I just got out the shower and I went in there naked. I went and done it, she didn’t cry. “Then I started crying because she didn’t cry and made me mad. “I chucked the ring at her and walked out. I said, ‘Just marry yourself.’ True story.”When asked to clarify an utterly bizarre sequence of events, Hood added: “Ring arrived. Jess answered the door, had it, obviously didn’t know what it was. “Gave the package to me, I was just out of the shower, completely starkers. “I went in there, got down on one knee and everything. And she’s like, ‘Oh, yeah.’ “I was like, ‘Well, if you’re going to be like that, marry yourself.’ No towel, completely naked.”Hood gave his now-wife a memory she’ll never forget, but maybe not for the right reasonsGettyGiven the chaotic nature of his proposal, some may question if Hood would do things different if he and Jess had their vows renewed.But deviating from that approach would not be fitting with Hood’s outlook on life.“No, everything I do in life is just going with the flow,” Hood said.“Jess likes to plan everything, I just go with whatever happens.”Although the laid-back approach can be a hindrance in some aspects, it helped propel Hood to an epic run at the 2026 World Darts Championship.On debut, Hood reached the quarter-finals, claiming the scalps of Josh Rock and Danny Noppert en route, before being beaten by two-time world champion Gary Anderson.Hood knows where his heart belongs when it comes to darts or Chinese foodtalkSPORT DartsJustin Hood's Chinese order. Special curry. Egg fried rice. Singapore Chow Mein. Ribs. Salt and pepper chicken. Salt and pepper king prawns. Beef in black bean sauceWho wants a Chinese?Hood’s journey to the final eight helped him bank a tidy £100,000 in prize money, a sum good enough to help fulfil his dream of opening a Chinese restaurant.Hood made no attempt to conceal his love of Chinese food during press conferences at the World Championship and revealed Luke Humphries was keen to pitch in along with other unnamed investors.Defending champ Luke Littler even claimed he’d get involved, so long as he’d get a return on his investment.To get an idea of just how much Hood loves Chinese food, he was asked if he’d take becoming World Champion if it meant he could never eat his favourite cuisine again.But the Bath-born thrower delivered an answer that will have darting purists casting a double-take.“No chance,” Hood said.Hood became a fan favourite throughout his run at the World Darts ChampionshipGetty“Don’t care (about £1million). I can earn money elsewhere. I can get a job and earn money, I don’t care about that. “Chinese food is life.”So, maybe not a solitary world title, but what about five?“It doesn’t matter, does it,” Hood added.“I can win that anywhere. If I give up Chinese, you’ve got to give it up.”
