LUKE LITTLER met his glamorous girlfriend while playing FIFA on the Xbox.

The darts sensation, 16, has captured the heart of the nation with his incredible run to the PDC World Darts Championship semi-finals.

But it was while trying to score on the video game that he bagged the blonde beauty consultant.

Littler hit the Bullseye when he started chatting on the Xbox to Eloise Milburn after being introduced by mutual friends.

The Daily Mail report they grew close over their mutual love of both FIFA and darts.

And it is said the Manchester United fan has officially been going out with Eloise for four weeks – just in time for Littler to be given an extra Xbox controller for Christmas.

They fell for each other despite living more than 200 miles apart.

Littler – who faces 2018 champ Rob Cross for a place in tomorrow’s PDC final and a £500,000 jackpot – is based in Warrington while Eloise’s home is in Hersham, Surrey.

The 21-year-old was in attendance at Ally Pally rocking a matching shirt to cheer her new beau on against Brendan Dolan on New Year’s Day – before giving him a congratulatory kiss following the thumping 5-1 win.

And she took to Instagram to send a message of support to the teenage sensation, who has already banked £100,000 in prize money for reaching the final four.

Eloise wrote: “The dream carries on, incredibly proud of you!” with a filtered selfie of the couple and Littler at the oche.

And his No1 fan knows her fair share about darts, too, because Eloise plays at the Walton Working Men’s Club and is even on the Surrey Women’s darts team.

As well as their passion for darts, they also share a love of football – with the beauty consultant a big Crystal Palace supporter.

She also worked behind the bar at Hersham Gold Club and enjoys a trip to the theatre to watch musicals.

The Avon sales rep proves she could still have a future with the microphone as a video of her singing Adele’s Easy On Me revealed her fantastic voice.

And now a brand and culture expert believes Littler and Eloise – as well as Luke’s sister Caitlin – has told SunSport the family can be as big as the Furys, including boxers Tyson and Tommy and his partner Molly-Mae Hague.

Nick Ede said: “Luke is the next big thing in sports but also as a celebrity in his own right.

“He has the ability to make millions with darts endorsements, and draw in a whole new demographic of players and fans, and also, more importantly, away from the board.

“With his glamorous girlfriend, and supportive family, he’s got all the makings of the next TV star with a fly-on-the-wall reality show on the cards to rival the Furys or Sam and Billie Faiers.”
