World champion Van Gerwen easily beat Taylor 16-8 to reach the final at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall.
The Dutchman and the 16-time world champion have had their fair share of battles down the years.
Today the pair exchanged words going into a break after Van Gerwen had just won a leg by checking out 74.
Van Gerwen has revealed Taylor was not happy that he cheered after his throw so he hit back at the 57-year-old while they were walking off.
“He tried a few of his tricks, what he always does,” Van Gerwen told Sky Sports.

“In the break I wasn’t allowed to cheer from my own throw. I don’t know why when I finished a 74.
“What can I say? Honestly, you want to know honestly? I just walked off, had a little nip of my drink.
“He came to me ‘you shouldn’t do this, you shouldn’t do that’.
“I just said ‘you’re a kn*b’ again, that’s exactly what I said.
“Then he was annoyed at what I said, I don’t know why but something always happens in-between our games, after or before.
“But I also thinks it’s our rivalries in our games because we don’t want to lose to each other, we try to present our best all the time.
“Maybe I shouldn’t say it but I still think it was a good game for everyone to watch and that’s what is most important.”
