Before the final, Littler discussed his recent triumph in darts on talkSPORT, revealing that his social media following “explored” as a result of his run.
He stated, “It has been absolutely insane.”

“Littler’s dream run” concludes.
United’s official website verified that Littler has been extended an invitation to Old Trafford subsequent to his extraordinary performance at the World Darts Championship.
Littler stated after his loss to Humphries that his objective is to eventually win the World Darts Championship, despite his failure to clear the final hurdle.
“The only drawback was that my throw lost too many legs, which allowed Luke to break it, then hold it, and I would be down 2-0 [in the set],” he explained (as cited in BBC Sport).
” Luke merits credit; he justly merits it.””I have reached the final; it is possible that I will not reach another final for the next five to ten years; however, I am content with finishing in second place for the time being; all I want is to win.”
