Two Premier League players asked security if they could have a picture with darts sensation Luke Littler.
The 16-year-old became the youngest player to reach the fourth round of the World Darts Championship following his victory over Matt Campbell.
Littler, who won the World Youth Championship last month, rose to prominence after he destroyed Christian Kist in round one before beating reigning UK Open champion Andrew Gilding.

Littler's reputation off the oche has also skyrocketed with Premier League stars wanting to take pictures with the darts phenom.
He took to social media to reveal that Arsenal duo Aaron Ramsdale and Declan Rice asked security if they could have a picture with him.

The youngster obliged and shared the snap on his Instagram story, accompanied with the caption: "Just about go to the room and the security says these 2 want a picture crazyyy!"
Rice was in action for the Gunners last night as they lost 2-0 to West Ham United. Ramsdale was an unused substitute.
Littler also got a picture with Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek.
After his victory over Campbell, he hugged his mum, admitting he "started crying when I saw my mum in the crowd. She was nervous. I said to her, 'The dream continues'. She said the same thing."

Littler mapped out his plan ahead of his next match: "I will stay in the hotel, chill out tomorrow, treat myself to more shoes and pants, chill out and see who I play in the next round,
"I've got nothing to lose for myself, I've over-achieved again. Now I can just settle. I'm still happy to come out at the last 16, but I would love to go a few more games in
"I only wanted to win one game and I've won three. I just let my darts do the talking."
Littler will face the winner of Luke Williams vs. Raymond van Barneveld in the next round of the competition.
