DARTS Luke Littler admits he “lost” his head when reacting to the hostile crowd during his fourth-round World Championship win over Rob Cross and still has some learning to do.

The 18-year-old was booed and jeered as he beat Cross 4-2 to book his place in the quarterfinals at Alexandra Palace.

Littler let the emotion out after throwing the winning darts, running around the stage gesturing to the crowd, who had wanted Cross to win.

He then doubled down during his onstage interview, saying: “You guys pay for tickets and you pay for my prize money, so thank you for my money, thank you for booing me.”
