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.

Luke Humphries beats Luke Littler to win Premier League Darts title and payday
Luke Humphries ended Luke Littler's hopes of retaining the Premier League Darts title with an emphatic 11-8 in the final at the O2 Arena. Littler, 18, headed to London as the defending champion and red-hot favourite to come out on top again, and in turn pocket the massive £275,000 jackpot. The teenage sensation raced into a 3-0 lead over Humphries, who looked nervous as he threw quickly. The 30-year-old responded well, though, levelling the scores by winning the next three legs and went on to claim a 11-8 victory, despite Littler rallying back. It was five-a-piece at the break during which Humphries uncharacteristically gesticulated towards the tournament director over an issue near the oche. Humphries didn't let it get to him, taking a 6-5 lead. The Nuke was made to work hard for his place in the final against a player he has had issues against in Gerwyn Price. The Welshman managed to beat him twice in the league phase and looked capable of causing another shock. Price went off at the mid-match break, leading 6-4 having missed chances to have an even bigger advantage. That would have been enough to have earned a win in the previous 16 weeks, but the play-offs mean a longer format and a chance for comebacks. And after regrouping off stage, Littler roared back, winning six of the last 7 legs to win 10-7. After booking his place in a second successive final, the normally ice cool Littler, admitted he was feeling a few nerves. He said: "When Gezzy went 6-4 up and we went off stage I needed to get myself up for it. I stormed off stage, I had to. "I was very nervous for the first five or six legs. But I love coming on after a break, relaxed and got the job done. I can relax now." Humphries was also made to work, having been level at the break with opponent Nathan Aspinall. But the 2024 PDC world champion matched Littler's result, winning 10-7. and Mirror Sport will bring you the very latest updates, pictures and video as soon as possible. check back regularly for updates on this developing story. on Google News, Flipboard, Apple News, Twitter, Facebook or visit The Mirror homepage.
