Littler, who first played on a magnetic board as a toddler, will take on 2018 champion Rob Cross in the semi-finals tonight at Alexandra Palace.

The history-making youngster, nicknamed “Luke the Nuke” has already guaranteed himself a £100,000 pay day but could collect £500,000 should he go on to win the tournament.

His girlfriend, Eloise Milburn, was seen embracing him on stage after his victory in the quarter-finals yesterday. The 21-year-old beauty consultant from Surrey, an amateur darts player herself, wrote on social media: “The dream carries on. Incredibly proud of you!”
