Older brother Leon revealed how the 17-year would be spending the night after he beat Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in darts' World Championship final.
And there will be some cross-over rejoicing - as Leon turns 21 this weekend.
Littler's elder sibling also pointed out a major snag with the youngest ever world champ pulling off such an achievement so young.
Asked how the Nuke will enjoy it all, Leon noted his kid bruv is still under the legal age for drinking - at least until his own birthday on January 21.

He joked: "Can't do much with him, can you! He's 17."
Leon added: "He'll go out, chill on his game, maybe order some food. I'll do the celebrating for him!"
The younger Littler famously spends hours playing on his phone and computer.
But he'll now have just a little less space to do so at his home.

After racing into a 4-0 and then holding off Van Gerwen's revival to claim victory, Littler said: "It’s heavy (the trophy).
"It’s probably going on the living-room floor. To see it there and know it’s mine, I cannot wait."

He added: "It has been a long 2-3 weeks. I cannot wait to go home and get into my own bed.
“As soon as that winning double went in, I couldn’t believe it. I was fine and then I looked into the crowd.
"Everyone was on their feet, that is when the tears came. I looked over to my family and I knew it was mine."
