Luke Littler to star in different sport on ITV as darts sensation, 18, links up with Tony Bellew and Barry Hearn
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LUKE LITTLER is aiming to show there's just a fin margin between success and failure. Darts' world champ is joining fellow big names of sport like Tony Bellew, Steve Davis and Barry Hearn for an angling event to be shown on ITV4. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Luke Littler will hope to improve on his debut in last year's event Credit: Getty 3 Ex-boxer will also be competing in a 32-strong line-up But the Nuke, 18, came BOTTOM on his debut in the Target Sports Star Fishing Championship last year. That's despite the keen angler sharing a snap of a sizable catch he made at the competition in Warwickshire. The Warrington whizkid teamed up in 2024 with former Ally Pally kings Adrian Lewis and Rob Cross, plus Target Darts boss Garry Plummer. Now he'll be back at the Tunnel Barn Fishery on July 29 alongside ex-world cruiserweight boxing champ Bellew, snooker's six-time Crucible king Davis, promoter Hearn and a string of other stars - from both sides of the microphone. The 32-strong line-up also includes Lewis, Cross and James Wade from darts, as well as Derek Redmond, Gail Emms, George Groves, Johnny Fisher, Andy Goldstein, Hayley Turner and Gary Newbon. Littler hopes to show Big Fish has a more meaty meaning than just being his favourite checkout at the oche. And he also hopes to bounce back from England's World Cup embarrassment. The Nuke and Luke Humphries went into the pairs tournament as the world's top two players and the last two Ally Pally kings. 3 Luke Littler has impressed fans after taking up a new sport Credit: Instagram @lukethenukelittler BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK But they began to flounder from the start and fans had plenty to carp about afterwards. Welshman Gerwyn Price, who suffered disappointment in the final against Northern Ireland, described the duo as "rubbish" and appeared to suggest they lacked "camaraderie". Gerwyn Price runs rule over Luke Littler and Luke Humphries' England's World Cup of Darts flop At least Littler won't be under the same type of pressure when he contests the angling competition, which raises five-figure sums for charity. Organisers have stressed their 13th annual event is "not open to the public". But a two-hour highlights package will be on ITV4 at a date to be confirmed.

ZAMAERA, Damien Mirza and Roshan Light Up Kuala Lumpur at Road to FAM
The night was electric in Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown as Malaysia's own rap powerhouse,ZAMAERA, took center stage for the latest stop in the sold out 'Road to FAM' series. In a city brimming with music, the event—held at the intimate yet pulsing Over & Above venue—proved that Southeast Asia's next wave of artists is more than ready to claim their place on the global stage. Presented byFuture Asian Music (FAM)andLevi's®, 'Road to FAM' is a city-hopping music showcase that's been turning heads across the region. After packed-out shows in Manila and Singapore, the energy arrived in KL on May 21, where ZAMAERA headlined a night that blended hip hop, R&B, and denim culture into something uniquely Malaysian. ZAMAERA, who first made waves with her viral anthem 'Helly Kelly,' didn't disappoint. Decked out in a custom Levi's® look by local labelUGLY PRETTY—think layered denim corset, miniskirt, and a blazer-trench hybrid—the rapper owned the stage. Her setlist was a masterclass in crowd work, weaving together fan favorites like 'Big Fish' and new drops like 'Jumper' with the kind of energy that had the whole room moving. At one point, she even invited fans to dance with her on stage—a move that turned the packed venue into a full-on dance floor. The evening's vibe was set by local DJs Damien Mirza and Prav, who warmed up the crowd with hip hop and R\&B mixes that had people grooving long before ZAMAERA's first beat dropped. And in a nod to the city's creative community, Levi's® also teamed up with graffiti artistCloakwork, turning the event into more than just a concert—it was a night of style, music, and culture coming together in one sweaty, joyful room. For ZAMAERA, the look she wore wasn't just about fashion—it was a statement. 'She owns her identity unapologetically, and I wanted her outfit to reflect that strength and fearlessness,' said UGLY PRETTY, the designer behind the piece. The message? You don't just have to make music to make waves. The 'Road to FAM' series isn't just about the live shows, either. Each stop is being captured in a mini-documentary series that'll dig into the artists' roots and creative journeys. And with the final show set to close out in Jakarta with RAMENGVRL, there's plenty more to come. It's clear that FAM and Levi's® are tapping into something real: a community-driven platform that celebrates emerging talent and builds bridges between local scenes and global ears. If the Kuala Lumpur show was any indication, the future of Asian music isn't just bright—it's blinding. Learn more about the series

Luke Littler wins record SIXTH Premier League night with victory over Luke Humphries – and has more points than Man Utd
LUKE LITTLER sent out a chilling warning to his rivals with a record SIXTH Premier League night win. And that means he finishes the season with more points than his beloved Manchester United. 6 Luke Littler delivered a Big Fish finish on his way to a sixth Premier League nightly win Credit: PA 6 Manchester United cannot match Littler's Premier League points tally Credit: Getty The darts world champion, 18, delivered a stunning 6-3 victory over Luke Humphries in the final in Sheffield tonight. It was the perfect warm-up for the play-off finals for the Nuke as he aims to defend his Premier League title next week. He smashed in outstanding 155 and 170 finishes to leave his biggest adversary floundering - prompting his favourite Big Fish celebration. Littler also finished top of the table, smashing his own Premier League points record with a final total of 45, five ahead of his previous best.

And his tally of 45 is six more than the 39 Ruben Amorim's United have mustered during their dismal season. Littler is now beyond United's grasp as the Red Devils can only reach a maximum of 42 in the Premier League football - if they can beat Aston Villa on Sunday. The Nuke said: 'It's been tough, it's a tough format but I've got myself through as three other players have.
