By his own admission, Littler was only hoping to win his first match before returning home for Christmas.

But an unbelievable run resulted in the teen going all the way to the final before suffering a heartbreaking 7-4 defeat.

Family members, like sister Caitlin, and friends watched on as Littler knocked out greats including Rob Cross and Raymond van Barneveld.

The youngster is now set to rake in £40million from brand deals, with Skoda reaching an agreement despite Littler not being old enough to drive yet.

And he looks set to embark on the next stage of his career alongside 21-year-old girlfriend Eloise Milburn.

The pair have been together for six weeks after meeting while playing Xbox games.

Eloise cheered Littler on throughout his various victories.

And she cheered him up with a wholesome message after last night’s defeat in the final.

Littler appeared on Thursday’s episode of Good Morning Britain to talk through his brilliant debut, even lifting the lid on his amazing pre-final routine.

And afterwards, iconic British darts ace George came out to offer Littler some advice.

Although the teen was not present, George provided some words of wisdom after playing darts at the highest level for several decades.

The flamboyant fan favourite, who also made his name as a presenter, reckons Littler must quickly adapt to the fast-paced circuit of the PDC.

George urged the ace to look after any money he makes from the sport.

And in a message which is sure to delight Eloise, he also told Littler to remain focused on his career by avoiding having any girlfriends.

George told GMB: “Do what he’s always done, practice a lot, don’t have any sharks signing contracts with you, that’s the main thing.

“He’s going to go around the world now, he’s going to go to all the tournaments. He’s got a lot of travelling, it’s a different game, that’s the hardest thing.

“Get a plane, be there early, then you’ve got to play darts. He’s got to learn that. It might put him off a bit for a while.

“But he’s got the stepping stone there, he’s going to be at all the PDC tournaments. If he plays well, he’s going to earn a few quid.

“What a great thing for a bloke of that age. If he looks after it, that’s the thing. No flash cars, no girlfriends, he’s got to be regimental.”
