English teenage sensation Luke Littler has become arguably the biggest name in the world of darts, bursting onto the scene at the 2023/24 World Darts Championship at the age of just 16 and making it all the way to the final of the biggest competition the sport has to offer.

Luke Littler has explained why he burst into tears on stage after winning his first match at the World Darts Championship. Littler came within millimetres of opening his quest for a maiden World Championship crown with a nine-dart finish as he beat Ryan Meikle in record-breaking fashion on Saturday (21 December).

Luke Littler is a kebab-eating, Xbox-playing darts player who grabbed the attention of Britain and beyond this time last year by reaching the final of the world championship as a 16-year-old.
