To all appearances, Luke Littler is just a typical British teenager. He met his girlfriend, Eloise Milburn, through playing the FIFA soccer game on his Xbox. He is a big fan of gaming and has admitted that he often limits his darts practice to half an hour’s practice per day so that he has more time to play video games (via The Guardian). He is a big fan of fast food, particularly pizza, which makes up part of his winning diet during tournaments, and kebabs, which are a favorite. After reaching the PDC World Darts Championship, one darts-loving kebab shop in his hometown has offered Littler free kebabs for life.
But along with details of Littler’s typical teenage daily routine has emerged an insight into an early life dominated by a love of darts. His sister caused a viral sensation when she uploaded a montage of clips of Littler playing darts as an infant. The first clip reportedly shows him at the age of just 18 months throwing magnetic darts at a board his father bought from a pound shop, a British dollar store. Despite his prodigious talents, Littler had been described as a quiet kid at school — he left at 16 without any qualifications — and a naturally down-to-earth person.
