Luke Littler’s stunning win over Rob Cross at the 2024 PDC World Darts Championship has smashed TV records.

On Tuesday night, Littler produced a stunning display at the Alexandra Palace as he thrashed 2018 winner Cross 6-2.

The teenager from Warrington is now one step away from being crowned the champion of the world.

Standing in his way is world number one Luke Humphries, who eased through to the final after being Scott Williams 6-0.

On the back of Littler’s victory, it has been revealed that his clash with Cross smashed a TV record.

According to promoter Eddie Hearn, who wrote on social media: “BREAKING..the record viewership for darts was 1.65m for Taylor v Anderson in 2015

“Last night Littler v Cross smashed the record with 2.32m audience! Bigger than the Ashes, bigger than the Ryder Cup let’s break 3m tonight for the final.”

Ahead of the final, Littler said: “It is crazy to even think I am in the final on my debut.

“I was happy to win one game and now I can go all the way. It's not easy. You are playing Rob, he is a world champion who won on debut. I've got no words.”

He continued: “I'll be doing what I've been doing. In the morning I'll go for my ham and cheese omelette and then come here, have a pizza and then prep on the board. That is what I've done every day.”

Meanwhile, Humphries has stated that he has to play the game of his life to have a chance of beating Littler.

He said: “I've seen the way he's played many, many times but when you come on this stage it can be a lot tougher but he's just proved that he's got a lot of bottle.

“Nothing is going to phase him. I'm probably going to have to play the game of my life. I've got an uphill task and hopefully we can give the people one of the best world finals ever seen.”
