Darts ace girlfriend is daring to dream
Evening Standard
|January 02, 2024
THE girlfriend of teenage darts prodigy Luke Littler today said “the dream carries on” as the 16-year-old prepared to battle for a place in the final of the PDC World Darts Championship.
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!”
