LUKE UP FOR THE DOUBLE

Nuke rocks Heavy Metal to seal another title fling

- BY PATRICK AUSTEN-HARDY

LUKE LITTLER saw off the boo boys to dispatch Ryan Searle 6-1 and reach his third consecutive World Darts Championship final.

He'll play Gian van Veen tonight for the £1m winner's cheque after the Dutchman beat Gary Anderson 6-3.

Littler, 18, walked out to a cacophony of boos with the Ally Pally crowd yet to forgive him over his “paying for his prize money” comment.

While Searle, 38, arrived into his first ever World Championship semifinal as the feelgood story of the competition.

His story of rising up to No.8 in the world, despite his incurable eye condition Autosomal Dominant Optic Atrophy, struck a chord with fans.
