LUKE LITTLER blushed live on TV after being asked about his girlfriend Louise Milburn.

The 16-year-old was an unheard of outsider when the World Championship started three weeks ago.

But he is now the most talked about sports star in the country after his incredible run to the final in his Ally Pally debut.

There has been plenty of change for Luke the Nuke recently, having reportedly just met Louise while playing Xbox a few weeks before impressing at the oche.

She joined the Littler family in cheering the teen sensation on in the crowd for all his matches.

And the Warrington wonderkid hugged and kissed the 21-year-old beauty consultant on his way to the Ally Pally stage during his walk-on.

After Littler’s dream run ended in final heartbreak against Luke Humphries, he was was invited on ITV’s Good Morning Britain.

Presenters Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid quizzed him about his girlfriend.

They said: “Your other half plays darts as well, that must help.”

A sheepish Littler replied: “Yeah, hopefully I can practice with her and try and get her to where I am.”

It led to Reid letting out a big “awww, brilliant” and it left the darts star blushing and looking a tad embarrassed.

Loved-up Eloise is full of support for her boyfriend, writing on social media after the final: “Forever proud of you! Always a winner in my eyes.”

GMB also asked him about his other love – kebabs.

But Littler revealed after the final he instead opted to eat a burger and munched on a margherita pizza before before taking to the oche.

Sitting next to his runners-up trophy, he admitted that he has been practising just 30-45 minutes per day during the tournament as “it gets boring.”

Littler also said he is thrilled by well he performed, saying: “I am happy with getting to the final. It has been a rollercoaster these past 3-4 weeks.

“I am disappointed with losing a lot of legs when I threw first. Those are the only negatives. I will take all these experiences.

“It has been unbelievable, I just wanted to win one game and come back after Christmas.”

Meanwhile, Louise’s mum Amanda insists her relationship with Littler is still in the early stages.

She told the Daily Mail: “They’re in a growing relationship, not a very serious one – although that might come later.

“I asked her for tickets because me and Phil would love to see Luke in action, but Eloise just says, ‘Mum, please, I don’t want you meeting him just yet, it’s too soon.’

“It’s quite ironic that I met my husband through darts and Eloise might have met hers in the same way.

“It’s still early days for them and she’ll kill me if I bring up talk of marriage.”
