The Nuke has become a multi-millionaire since turning professional in January 2024, thanks to darts prize money and various sponsorship deals.

That is all down to the accuracy and potency with his right arm and his ability to take out checkouts and nine-darters with alarming frequency.

Though his arms are not insured – he said that was the case back in May before the Premier League Playoffs – he knows he has to be careful not to do anything that might damage or injure them.

As a Manchester United fan, Littler would love nothing more than pulling on the England shirt and appearing at Old Trafford against a World XI in the coming years.

The last match on June 15 – which raised an incredible £15.3million for the UNICEF children’s charity – saw England lose 5-4.

And the two teams, managed by the likes of Tyson Fury and Wayne Rooney, were a mix of ex-footballers, celebrities and YouTube streamers.

Yet Littler realises that there is a danger to switching sports, especially if he ended up getting injured in a collision or tackle.

In an interview with esportsinsider.com, an Esports, gaming and betting website, Littler said: “I would love to play the Soccer Aid but it’s just hard finding the time – and hopefully not breaking my arm!”

The 18-year-old is keen to start driving soon but posted on his Instagram feed this week that he had failed his driving theory test for a FIFTH time.

The morning after he won the World Darts Championship at Ally Pally, the teen sensation told SunSport that he would like to buy a basic Mercedes-Benz car.

But now, following the theory test failures, he says he would keep it all secret, adding: “I’m not telling anyone. You will find out when I am driving!”

Littler – who left secondary school in the summer of 2023 with a GCSE in PE – is the best darts player in the world at present, even though he remains second on the Order of Merit behind Luke Humphries.

Away from the oche, Littler is a keen Xbox player and is friends with several ‘streamers’ – people who film themselves playing online computer games.

He is close pals in particular with content creator AngryGinge, who has 830,000 subscribers on Youtube.

Talking about online content, Littler said: “Whenever (me and AngryGinge) have got the time and obviously whenever he’s live, I’ll always ask to join.

“Now there’s the BOV Boys, you may have heard of them. I hope to get on a video with them sometime.

“I don’t really watch new people. I just watch Pieface, Ginge, TaZe, everyone I know. “I don’t really watch anyone new. I did meet iShowSpeed at the Baller League.”

Asked what he would have done if he was not playing darts full-time, Littler replied: “I’d probably be a streamer. Or even rugby, football, boxing.”

When he dramatically made the final of the World Championship on his tournament debut appearance on January 3, 2024 – he was defeated 7-4 by Humphries – his Instagram following mushroomed up to 1.9million.

Overnight he became famous across the world but, of course, social media can cause enormous challenges and pitfalls.

Asked for advice for any teenager who wants to follow him into darts, Litter said: “Obviously if you are up and coming and you get a few followers, you’re going to get the fame.

“Just ignore them all. Don’t look at anything.

“I’ll have a look now and again, see what people are saying and just laugh at them.

“People do it for a few clicks and a bit of money. I just have a laugh.”
