HUMBLE Luke Littler revealed the three modest things he would buy if he wins the PDC World Darts Championship.

Littler, 16, is the favourite to go all the way at Ally Pally.

He faces Rob Cross in the semi-final with the winner booking their place in Wednesday’s final.

And as well as the status as the youngest world champion and lifting the Sid Waddell trophy on the line, Littler knows he is two wins away from landing a whopping £500,000 in prize money – just months after sitting his GCSEs.

But the Kebab Kid, who has already guaranteed himself £100,000, is keeping his feet on the ground as he revealed his low-key wishlist totalling a couple of hundred pounds.

Asked how he would spend the money, the Warrington teenage sensation told The Telegraph: “I always treat myself to some Under Armour tracksuits.

“And just get myself a new coat and get myself some Fifa points for my Xbox. That’s pretty much it.”

However, Littler may also put the money towards driving lessons once he turns 17 on January 21 – so his dad can stop giving him lifts to every tournament.

And he admitted he may treat some friends to a memorable trip.

The darts ace – who got a new Xbox controller for Christmas – told talkSPORT: “All my friends are watching at home, we’ve always said we need to go Blackpool or Alton Towers.

“So I think they will be looking at me like, ‘You’re paying, Luke,’ and I’ll be like, ‘Yeah, okay!'”

But the £500,000 for going all the way could be a fraction of the money Littler will earn following his sudden rise to stardom.

A brand and culture expert believes Littler and girlfriend 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.”

Littler and Eloise met through playing FIFA on the Xbox and have a mutual love of darts.

Eloise, 21, is a beauty consultant, fantastic singer and Crystal Palace fan – and gave Luke a celebratory kiss after the win over Brendan Dolan in the quarter-finals.
