Luke Littler's mum has slammed 'vile t**ts' in the crowd at Ally Pally after her son was booed during his World Darts Championship clash against Rob Cross.
Littler beat Cross 4-2 on Monday to secure his spot in the next round of the competition.
The reigning world champion produced a huge celebration after throwing the winning darts as he targeted a section of the crowd amid jeers and boos during his fourth round match.
Speaking immediately after his big win, the 18-year-old exclaimed: "I'm really not bothered. Can I just say one thing? You guys pay for tickets that you're paying for my prize money, so thank you: thank you for my money. Thank you for booing me. Thank you. Come on!"

Littler later admitted he 'lost his head' as he addressed his fiery reaction in his post-match press conference.

Asked how close he was to losing his head in his tie against Cross, Littler replied: "I think I lost it [my head].
"I think it's still on there [the stage]. One of those things. I've just got to leave it all in there. I can give the odd little ones for the checkouts and breaks of throw, but leave it until that winning dart."

He added: "Two years ago, I think I would have started throwing my darts left hand to be honest. But that's how much I've grown, how much I've matured. People might not say I'm mature, but try and be in my position.
"That's the first time I've been at the World Championships and the crowd haven't wanted me to win. I expect the worst on New Year's Day, whoever I do play. Whatever happens, happens, and I'm ready for New Year's Day."

Littler was subjected to abuse on social media as people hit out at his behaviour at the World Darts Championship.
But his mum, Lisa, has jumped to her son's defence, firing back at several social media users online.
One user had wondered why he wasn't allowed to 'call (Littler) a little pudding because he's 18' since he was able to 'financially ridicule a whole audience who've paid their hard earned money'.
Lisa responded: "So they buy tickets with there (sic) hard earned money to sit there like t**ts and boo," accompanied with a thumbs up emoji.
When another told the world No.1 to 'behave like one', Lisa wrote: "Behave like one," with two laughing face emojis.
"Best comment so far am sure Luke will carry on behaving like one as he as (sic) done crowds were vile let's all boo the world number one idiots man."
Littler resumes his World Darts Championship campaign on Thursday when he faces Poland's Krzysztof Ratajski in the quarter-finals.
