Teacher mum Corinne has a board at home and said: “I used to play with my dad but was never any good. But Brian’s best score is 100.

“His grouping of the darts is excellent.”

Brian added: “I like getting bullseyes and treble-20s.

“I would like to be a professional darts player and love to be world champion.”

Brian Ivey has been coaching the youngster at Paignton Darts Academy, Devon, and said: “He is a cracking little player. If he keeps going, he can do well.

“We play on a lower board height-wise and a shorter oche but he gets in and around the treble-20s.

“He began around October but has been watching his parents playing darts at home since he was three.

“His heroes are Michael Smith and Stephen Bunting.

“Brian would love to be a darts player. He has great enthusiasm and comes as often as possible.”

Sensation Luke has spoken of playing darts aged four and won his first seniors title at 14.
