The nation has been swept up as “Luke the Nuke” continues to brush aside every experienced pro that’s put in front of him.

And he is now 13/8 FAVOURITE to win the whole thing after Scott Williams later knocked out Michael van Gerwen in a huge upset.

Littler’s dominant 5-1 victory over Dolan just continued to leave people in awe of his ability at such a young age.

The teenager is now just one win away from booking his spot in Wednesday’s final and his family and friends couldn’t be more proud.

He celebrated his quarter-final display by taking some selfies with the fans before kissing girlfriend Eloise, who was wearing the same blue shirt as him and is thought to be 21.

And Surrey beauty consultant and fellow darts player Eloise was not the only one supporting the Warrington lad as he darted away to celebrate with his family.

She even posted a message on Instagram saying how proud she was of him after watching his incredible journey over Christmas, and Littler’s sister Caitlin also shared a touching post of encouragement online.

She wrote: “The dream continues. Unbelievably proud of you.”

Littler will face Rob Cross in his semi-final on Tuesday, but can rest assured that his win over Dolan has guaranteed him a six-figure pay cheque.

And he could walk home with the £500,000 first prize and the Sid Waddell trophy when the competition comes to a close on Wednesday.

The “Prince of the Palace” is confident that he could be world champion by midweek too with the previously 150-1 contender now eyeing up the big prize.

Speaking after his win, he said: “It’ll take a lot to beat me, based on my past performances in these Worlds.

“I know I have got the ability to go all the way.

“I know I have a good chance, I know in myself I have got a good feeling that I can go all the way now. It’s whatever Luke Littler turns up.

“If I keep it up, I have a good chance. I’m only two games away. I’m definitely thinking about the title.

“This is the first time I have thought about it. It’s unbelievable.

“Rob is another person in the way. Obviously he won it on his debut – now I have my hopes of winning on my debut as well.

“This is unbelievable. I’ve felt confident ever since the opening game with Christian Kist.

“I don’t want to jinx it but every game I have played I have gone one or two sets up. I’m a good player to get off the mark quickly.

“I have got even more experience and even more hope of going all the way.”
