Coldplay couple who were caught on infamous kiss cam are hilariously mocked by darts fans in Blackpool at World Matchplay tournament

The now-infamous couple who went viral after being caught cuddling at a Coldplay concert have been hilariously mocked by darts fans at the World Matchplay in Blackpool.

Andrew Byron, the head of the AI startup Astronomer, was broadcast on the big screen at Boston's Gillette Stadium with his arm around the company's HR chief Kristin Cabot during the band's gig on Tuesday night. 

They rapidly covered their faces, with Byron diving out of view and Cabot turning her back to the camera.

But despite their efforts to avoid the limelight, their apparent awkwardness caught the attention of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.

'Oh look at these two!' the singer said mischievously as they spun around. 'Oh what? Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy.'

Public records suggest both Byron, 50, and Cabot, 56, are married - but that they live at different addresses to each of their spouses registered abodes.

Now, two fans at the World Matchplay on Monday morning made the most of their 10 seconds of fame as they mocked the couple on Sky Sports' broadcast of the event.

During Gerwyn Price's first round match against Daryl Gurney at Winter Gardens, two people in the crowd were caught by cameras holding up a sign that read: 'We love Coldplay.'

Price was dominating the game at the time, leading 6-3, when the camera cut to the two people in the crowd. They were stood one in front of the other, both looking at the big screens to see when they were on television.

When they realised they were, they dived out of shot, with the person at the back dipping low and the one at the front throwing their sign to the floor and covering their face.

It triggered loud laughs from the crowd, coming just days after Byron and Cabot themselves were caught.

The clip instantly went viral, racking up millions of views on TikTok, as fans flew into a frenzy at the uncomfortable moment.

Memes abounded, with many thanking Coldplay for 'bringing the whole internet together for one day.'

Byron, 50, meanwhile, stepped down from his role after being placed on leave on Friday. 

The billion-dollar company announced the CEO's resignation in a statement on Saturday. 

'As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding,' it read. 'Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,' the statement said. 

'Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.'

Back at the oche, meanwhile, Price beat Gurney 10-7 in a heated affair that saw the players clash multiple times on stage.
