But he is now one of the most talked about sports stars in the world after his dream run to the final at Ally Pally.

Littler’s newfound fame has seen his relationship with girlfriend Eloise, 21, get plenty of attention.

The pair met while playing Xbox not long before his performances shocked the world.

Reflecting on their manic start as a couple, Eloise posted a loved-up snap of the duo and another showing Littler at the oche.

She captioned it: “What a whirlwind of a few weeks it’s been.

“All I can say is I’m incredibly proud of what this one has achieved. Simples.”

Luke the Nuke commented with a love heart emoji, adding: “In this together.”

The couple kissed and hugged after wins at the World Champs with both unfazed by their romance going public.

Littler now plans to coach Eloise into a darts star, saying in a recent interview: “Hopefully I can practice with her and try and get her to where I am.”

But he admitted he trains just 30-45 minutes per day as “it gets boring”.
