Luke Littler admits he's been turning down phone calls about one thing since becoming a millionaire and it speaks volumes

Littler has now earned over £1 million in prize money - and keeps getting the same request.

Luke Littler has admitted he has been turning down the same phone call since becoming a millionaire.

Littler won the 2024 World Darts Championship to take his total darts earnings to over £1 million before turning 18 years of age.

'The Nuke' celebrated that milestone on January 21 - though conceded he wouldn't be able to celebrate too much due to his participation in this week's Dutch Darts Masters.

Littler has already competed in his first tournament of the season, being knocked out by an impressive Gerwyn Price at the quarter-final stage of the Bahrain Darts Masters.

The first Players Championship event of the season begins on February 10, with Littler looking to retain the title he won last year on the opening week of the Pro Tour season in Wigan last year.

Speaking after his 7-3 World Darts Championship final win over Michael van Gerwen, Littler told BBC Radio 5 Live that he had no idea what to do with his new wealth.

Since then, he has revealed that he has repeatedly received phone calls about the same thing - but has to keep turning them down.

He told the Daily Mail: "I have had a few requests from girls to meet up. But I generally don't reply. It's just people looking at me and the money I am making, and they want part of that.

"My mum and dad told me to keep the friends I have. Give it a few years and I may meet someone along the way."

He went on to add: "I have a couple of good friends from school and a few friends with different schools. They are doing well. They have apprenticeships, at Asda or McDonald's, or want to be plumbers or electricians. All have good jobs and are trying to make money for themselves."
