Jeremy Clarkson promised to send Luke Littler gift to 'last him until he's 18' if he won World Darts Championship last year

Littler will take on Michael van Gerwen in the final on Friday night.

Jeremy Clarkson made an "expensive" promise to Luke Littler ahead of last year's PDC World Darts Championship final against world number one Luke Humphries.

It has been another year to remember for Littler, who will take on Michael 'The Green Machine' van Gerwen in Friday's night much-anticipated final at the Alexandra Palace, London.

The 17-year-old, who has won a total of £618,500 in prize money from major events over the past 12 months, continues to shine on the biggest stage.

He has beaten Ryan Meikle, Ian White, Ryan Joyce, Nathan Aspinall and Stephen Bunting to reach his second consecutive World Championship final, 12 months after defying the odds on his debut.

Last year, the teenage sensation defeated Christian Kist, Andrew Gilding, Matt Campbell, Raymond van Barneveld, Brendan Dolan and Rob Cross on his way to the final.

Littler was nothing short of a sensation and ahead of that final against Humphries – a game he went on to lose – the youngster received support from millions of fans, including former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson.

In fact, Clarkson made an alcohol-related promise to the Runcorn-born thrower.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, he wrote: "This may turn out to be expensive but if Luke Littler wins tonight, I’ll give him enough of our brand new 0.3 percent Hawkstone Spa lager to last till he’s 18."

At the time, Clarkson was actively promoting Hawkstone Spa Lager – a low-alcohol beer that features a minimal alcohol content of just 0.3% – on his social channels.

As mentioned above, Littler has the chance to win his first PDC World Championship title when he takes on three-time world champion Van Gerwen. It's safe to say he is confident about his chances.

"I've gained loads of experience," the teenager said after beating Stephen Bunting in Thursday's semi-final. "Obviously Michael has been in numerous finals and this is my second.

"I know where I went wrong last year and I'm sure I'll fix it. I felt very confident tonight. The best I felt was against Nathan in the quarter-finals but I'm just glad I'm playing with confidence."

He added: "I'm hitting the shots when I needed to. Stephen was right behind me throughout the game and I just couldn't step off the gas. Everyone else is looking forward to it more than I am. But win seven sets and I'll be happy.

"It'd mean everything (to win). Win seven sets and I'll be over the moon."
