Luke Littler revealed that he has been getting “a few requests from girls to meet up” after becoming darts world champion and recently turning 18.
The extra attention has followed since going one step further at Alexandra Palace, beating Michael van Gerwen in the World Championship final to become the youngest-ever winner.
Littler split with his previous girlfriend Eloise Milburn last year, who was a frequent visitor at Ally Pally and could be spotted with his family cheering him on.
And although Littler is now a single man, he is not focusing on dating and after speaking with his family, is solely thinking about darts.
“Extra attention comes with me winning the world title and certain reporting restrictions are lifted at the age of 18 so that will have an impact,” Littler told the . “And if I keep winning, I’m not making it easier for myself, am I?”
“I have had a few requests from girls to meet up. But I generally don’t reply. It’s just people looking at me and the money I am making, and they want part of that. My mum and dad told me to keep the friends I have. Give it a few years and I may meet someone along the way.
“I have a couple of good friends from school and a few friends from different schools. They are doing well. They have apprenticeships, at Asda or McDonald’s, or want to be plumbers or electricians. All have good jobs and are trying to make money for themselves.”
