Luke Littler opens the supporter’s FIFA package… as eagle-eyed fans spot the player he has

LUKE LITTLER opened another supporter’s Fifa package ahead of last night’s Premier League darts action.

The star became a national phenomenon with his fairytale run at the PDC World Darts Championship in December.

That came to an end on January 3 when Luke Humphries defeated the then 16-year-old at Ally Pally 7-4 to become world champion.

‘Luke the Nuke’ took £200,000 despite losing it before winning the Bahrain Masters, and pocketed a further £20,000 for beating Michael van Gerwen in the final.

Littler returned to his hometown of Warrington for a subdued celebration of his 17th birthday and then defeated Humphries in the semi-final of the Dutch Masters, but suffered defeat to MVG in the final.

He only turned professional last month and capped off a whirlwind few weeks with a first call-up and then a bow for the Premier League.

Littler has already completed the Premier League scalp set, but he is still looking for his first night win.

A 6-3 semi-final defeat to Rob Cross yesterday denied the teenage sensation the chance to go for the £10,000 winners’ bonus in week five in Exeter.

However, he still managed to get viewers talking about him again for something other than his darts.

He first stunned one lucky supporter before even throwing his first dart of the night in Newcastle eight days ago.

That’s because a gamer held out his phone to the youngster during his strike, but instead of posing for a selfie, the chap revealed his Fifa game on the phone.

All it took was for a parcel to be opened… with Littler duly obliging to the delight of his supporter – and the viewers at home watching.

And he repeated that trick in Exeter on Thursday, when he was presented with another phone with a FIFA package that had yet to be opened.

The delighted fan celebrated after Littler did the honors for him, with an eagle-eyed viewer revealing which footballer had picked the teenager.

That was Domenico Berardi, the Italian international striker who previously played for Juventus and is now with Sassuolo.

PDC World Darts runner-up Littler enjoys playing his Xbox and spent £500 of his £200,000 Ally Pally prize money on packages with very little fun.

Littler delighted his followers when he did a live stream with his girlfriend just days after thrusting himself into the public spotlight.

And even attending tournaments doesn’t stop him from getting his FC 24 fix.

Littler is regularly depicted by his co-stars preparing for competitions on stage simply by performing on his screen.

So much so that Peter Wright joked ahead of their showdown in Newcastle that he was going to steal Littler’s chill phone to disrupt his pre-match plans.
