A clip of Luke Littler playing darts at the age of three has received over 2.3 million views as he continues to impress at the World Darts Championship.

The 16-year-old, who previously earned an estimated £2,500 as a professional ahead of this winter's competition, secured himself a six-figure payday following a quarter-final victory over Brendan Dolan.

On his way to Tuesday's semi-final clash against Rob Cross, Littler has recorded dominant wins over Christian Kist, Andrew Gilding, Matt Campbell and five-time world champion Raymond van Barneveld.

The teenager is already guaranteed to walk away with a life-changing £100,000 and last week, he revealed what he wants to do after the tournament ends.

"For Christmas, I got stuff for my Xbox, a controller, some gift cards and two tickets for the Manchester United stadium tour," he said. "So I will go to that after the Worlds. I’ve never done a tour before, just watched a few games there."

Littler recently opened up about his love for United, although plenty spotted Steven Gerrard's name on the back of his England shirt in the previously mentioned video.

The teenager posted the below clip ahead of his much-anticipated clash with Raymond van Barneveld.

He wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: "Three years old i used to imitate @Raybar180 when he won the @OfficialPDC World Championship in 2007.

"13 years later i get to play the legend himself in the last 16 on the biggest stage of them all."

Littler is in confident spirits ahead of Tuesday's semi-final clash against former world champion Rob Cross.

"It's going to take a lot to stop me," he said. "It feels unbelievable. I never thought I would have got to the semis on my debut year.

"It's crazy watching myself at 18 months or two years old in a nappy, but it has all paid off.

"One day we went to a shop with my parents and I pointed to a magnetic dartboard because they look similar. The rest is history."

Cross, meanwhile, has praised the youngster for making such an impact at the Ally Pally. "Everyone loves an underdog story," he said. "It took a bit of pressure off me winning it first time as well.

"He's fantastic and he deserves all the luck in the world - he is a nice young boy. Tomorrow we play darts, though, and I have to go down to business."
