And on Friday he made more headlines with a perfect leg of darts against Nathan Aspinall.

The Warrington wonderkid opened up his quarter-final clash with a remarkable nine-darter as the crowd went wild.

It makes him the youngest person to hit a nine-darter in a senior PDC darts event.

He has broken the previous record set by Michael van Gerwen, who achieved the feat when he was 17 years and 10 months old.

Reacting to the breathtaking moment, one person said: “Never seen anything like it. Luke Littler 9 darter first leg of the game. Madness.”

Another added: “Luke Littler you are outrageous.”

A third responded: “Fair play Luke Littler, first leg today and gets a 9 darter! Awesome talent. #darts.”

A fourth replied: “Littler’s just hit a 9 to start the match. Kid is insane.”

And a fifth said: “Oh my goodness me… take a bow Luke Littler.”

After his win, Littler said: “Well after I hit it, Nathan said, ‘It’s only a hold of throw!’

“I am glad to win. I played really well there.

“It’s good to get one [a nine-darter] on TV. The first one of the year goes to me. I hope the list continues. I hope [to] hit a few more.

“I never think about losing. I only think about winning.”

Littler is now eyeing a first PDC title after falling short against Luke Humphries in the world championship final earlier this month.

He will face Gerwyn Price in the semi-finals after the Welshman defeated Humphries to avoid a rematch of the Ally Pally final.

Littler’s girlfriend, Eloise, sent him a message following his win over Man Lok Leung in the last 16 on Thursday.

As she could not attend the match, she said: Get in there! Gutted I couldn’t be there in person to watch!”
