Caitlin Littler is the older sister of darts prodigy Luke ‘The Nuke” Littler.
She can often be seen cheering Luke on at the darts tournaments he competes in, and her social media accounts are filled with content about her brother’s impressive accomplishments.
Caitlin has maintained a low profile and keeps personal information about herself out of the public spotlight, so very little is known about what she does for a career.
Luke and Caitlin also have another brother named Harry — although he too likes to avoid publicity and not much is known about him either.
What has Caitlin said about her brother Luke Littler?
Caitlin regularly shares her pride about Luke’s achievements on social media.
Following his victory over Brendan Dolan in the quarter-finals of the 2023/24 PDC World Darts Championship, she wrote: “The dream continues. Unbelievably proud of you.”
Luke also shared the exact same message with his mum Lisa after he beat Matt Campbell in the third round.
On her Instagram account, along with a video of Luke checking out against Darryl Pilgrim in style with two consecutive bullseyes in the Modus Super Series in May 2023, she posted: “Gutted I couldn’t be there but never been so proud of someone, so much love.”
And in August 2023 after Luke won his second Super Series, Caitlin said: “Speechless he’s done it again! Never EVER been more proud of someone, what a night!
“You just continue to amaze us all everyday we all love you so much, keep smashing it.”

Who is Luke Littler?
Littler was born in Warrington, Cheshire on January 21, 2007 — making him 16 years old.
He is the reigning world youth champion and has hit incredible averages on the Modus Super Series, earning himself a PDC Tour Card for the 2024-25 season.
Speaking about his meteoric rise in August 2023 before the PDC World Darts Championship, Littler said: “I still can’t believe it. I have surprised myself.
“At the start of the year, my ambition was to win one Development Tour title, and I’ve won five.
“I knew I had the ability to beat the best players on the Development Tour, and I’ve beaten quite a few Tour Card holders — Dylan Slevin, Danny Jansen, Lewy Williams, Keane Barry.
“It is unbelievable. Now I’ve got my Tour Card, I can’t wait to prove what I can do on the big stages.”
He added: “This is a massive achievement in my career, I believe it will raise my game because I will be playing against the best players in the world, week in, week out on the ProTour and in qualifying for the European Tour.
“At the moment I don’t practice much. I usually do 30 minutes to an hour a day.
“Some people probably won’t believe it, but if I’m playing against the best, then I’ve got to up my standard.”
He made his PDC debut in March 2023 at the UK Open in Somerset, beating Nick Fullwell 6-0.
In the 2023/24 PDC World Championships, Luke stunned Ally Pally with one of the greatest debuts in the history of the sport, as he beat Christian Kist in the first round — and then celebrated that victory with a kebab.
His victory saw Littler become the youngest winner of a match at the tournament and record the highest average (106.12) for a player making his debut at Ally Pally.
The teenager went a step further by beating No 20 seed Andrew Gilding to shockingly become one of the FAVOURITES to win the tournament.
The 16-year-old blew away Canadian Matt Campbell 4-1, dropping only six legs out of 20 in another blistering display in his debut tournament — before breaking down in tears as he hugged his proud mum.
Littler then destroyed former champ Raymond van Barneveld 4-1 with an average of 105 to book a place in the quarter-finals.
And in the quarters he stormed past his opponent once again, beating Brendan Dolan 5-1 to progress to the final four — celebrating the historic win by kissing his girlfriend Eloise.
Luke is now 13/8 FAVOURITE to win the whole thing after Scott Williams knocked out Michael van Gerwen.
Since the start of the tournament Luke has become one of the nation’s darlings, with a picture of him on Christmas day opening presents going viral, along with old footage of an incredible trick shot while he is still in NAPPIES.
