Luke Littler’s wholesome plans if he wins World Darts Championship as 16-year-old to battle for £500,000 top prize

LUKE LITTLER has revealed his wholesome plans for after the PDC World Darts Championship.

The 16-year-old stands to win £500,000 if he can overcome Luke Humphries in today's final.

Littler saw off his childhood idol Raymond van Barneveld in the round of 16 before overcoming former winner Rob Cross in the semi-finals yesterday.

Littler has already guaranteed himself £200k in winnings for reaching the final.

And asked earlier in the tournament how he would spend his winnings, Littler told : "All my friends are watching at home, we've always said we need to go Blackpool or Alton Towers so I think they will be looking at me like 'you're paying, Luke' and I'll be like, yeah, okay!"

The teenager has grown in confidence throughout the tournament, and after claiming the scalps of van Barneveld and Cross has admitted there's no reason he can't go all the way.

He said: "It's going to take a lot to stop me.

"It feels unbelievable. I never thought I would have got to the semis on my debut year. It's crazy watching myself at 18 months or two years old in a nappy, but it has all paid off.

"One day we went to a shop with my parents and I pointed to a magnetic dartboard because they look similar. The rest is history."

On reaching the final yesterday, Littler said: "It’s been a crazy ride.

“I’m still standing. I’m in  one  of   the biggest finals in   the world. I was happy winning one game but I could go all the way!

“I have surprised myself. I have thrown big averages on the floor all year around.

“I’m pleased to bring it on the biggest stage of them all.

“It would be beyond unbelievable to win this. I only set my goal to win one game and then come back after Christmas.

“I have to stay composed and get over that line.”

Littler, known for his penchant for kebabs, was asked how he would prepare for today's final and said: "I had an omelette on the first night and I have just continued like that. Don’t fix it, if it is not broken.

“I don’t normally wake up until 12pm.

“In this world championship, I have nothing to lose. It’s just a free hit for myself.

“There’s no pressure. It’s my first time being here. I’m still here. I will take it in my stride, take it game by game.

“If my game is there, it’s there. I always say, whatever Luke Littler turns up, the outcome of the match will be won or lost. I threw well again. So far so good.”
