Littler’s girlfriend showing support
Luke Littler’s girlfriend was left lost for words by his victory over Michael van Gerwen.
The 16-year-old prodigy beat the darts legend 8-5 to win the Bahrain Darts Masters.
His girlfriend Eloise Milburn, 21, watched on from back home but showed her support on social media as Littler captured his first pro title.
In a post on Instagram, she wrote: “Just wow! Get in there! I am so proud words do not describe!”
Eloise was not able to watch on in person at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir.
However, she cheered Littler on from home on social media during his run to the trophy.
And after watching his nine-dart leg, Eloise wrote on Instagram: “You really never fail to amaze me!!
Littler’s big admission
Luke Littler says he has not PRACTISED once since the World Darts Championship final on January 3.
Luke The Nuke said: “No one probably believes me but I have not thrown a dart since. Thursday was the first proper practice I have put in.
“It has all paid off. Michael is still one of the best. He is the very best. I’m just happy to win on my debut.
“It has been unbelievable. I haven’t really set any goals. I didn’t expect to pick up this trophy.”
Prize money for the winner
Luke Littler will add another £20,000 to his kitty after winning in Bahrain tonight.
That’s added on to the cool £200,000 for finishing as runner up at the Worlds.
