Nicknamed “The Nuke”, Littler previously told Sky News he started playing darts at 18 months old.

His sensational performances have now seen him become the youngest player to reach the last four of the world championship.

Littler has even received support from his idol Phil “The Power” Taylor.

He will now face Rob Cross in his semi final on Tuesday night.

“He was unbelievable on debut as well and so am I. I’m looking forward to playing Rob tomorrow night,” he said.

“I didn’t like waking up at nine in the morning, so tomorrow chill and come back in the evening.”
