LUKE LITTLER opened another supporter’s Fifa pack before last night’s Premier League darts action.

The star became a national phenomenon with his fairytale run at the PDC World Darts Championship in December.

That came to an end on January 3 when Luke Humphries beat the then 16-year-old 7-4 at Ally Pally to be crowned world champion.

Luke the Nuke’, picked up £200,000 despite losing that before he won the Bahrain Masters and pocketed another £20,000 for beating Michael van Gerwen in the final.

Littler returned to hometown Warrington for a low-key 17th birthday celebration and went on to beat beat Humphries in the semi-finals of the Dutch Masters but suffered a loss to MVG in the final.

He only turned professional last month and capped a whirlwind few weeks with a first a call-up for and then making his Premier League bow.

Littler has already completed the Premier League scalp set – but he is still searching for his first night win.

A 6-3 semi-final defeat to Rob Cross denied the teen sensation the chance to go for the £10,000 winners’ bonus on week five in Exeter yesterday.

However, he still managed to get viewers talking about him again for something other than his darts.

He firstly amazed one lucky supporter before even throwing his first dart of the night in Newcastle eight days ago.

That’s because during his walkout a gamer held out his phone to the youngster, but rather than pose for a selfie, the bloke revealed his Fifa game on the phone.

All it needed was for a pack to be opened… with Littler duly obliging to his supporter’s delight – and viewers watching on at home.

And he repeated that trick on Thursday in Exeter as he was presented with another phone with a waiting Fifa pack to be opened.

The delighted fan celebrated after Littler did the honours for him, with one eagle-eyed viewer then revealing which footballer the teen had picked.

That was Domenico Berardi, the Italian international forward that previously played for Juventus and is now at Sassuolo.

PDC World Darts runner-up Littler famously loves to play on his Xbox and spent £500 of his £200,000 Ally Pally prize money on packs with very little joy.

Littler delighted followers when he did a livestream with his girlfriend just days after propelling himself into the public spotlight.

And even being at tournaments does not stop him from getting his FC 24 fix.

Littler has regularly been pictured by his fellow stars preparing for matches on stage simply playing on his screen.

So much so that ahead of their Newcastle showdown, Peter Wright joked he was going to steal laidback Littler’s phone to disrupt his pre-match plans.
