GERWYN PRICE is facing punishment after swearing live on TV.
Welshman Price was being interviewed by Sky Sports following his defeat to Luke Humphries at the World Grand Prix of darts on Sunday.
Cool Hand Luke kept his nerve as he beat Price 5-2 in the final of this double-start event in Leicester.
Following the match, Price spoke to Sky Sports, where he insisted he had played BETTER than his rival despite losing.
But the 38-year-old, who was booed by some fans, could be fined for swearing on live TV when he said: "My positive is I've got a good man cave to go home to, so I don't give a s***."
The Iceman was targeting the £120,000 prize to help fund his massive new man cave, featuring a home cinema, a pool table, a snooker table and an array of memorabilia on the walls.

And he will remember for a long time the astonishing 170 Big Fish checkout in the first leg of set five.
The Berkshire star – who now leapfrogs Price as the new world No.4 – sealed the win with a 138 finish and then celebrated with his crying family.
He said: “I have imagined this moment for my whole career. I feel very emotional.
