Inside Luke Littler's life: New girlfriend, luxury home, and soaring net after SPOTY nomination

Luke Littler has had a sensational 2024, and it's been enough to earn him a spot on the BBC Sports Personality of the Year shortlist
Luke Littler, the 17-year-old darts prodigy, has captured the public's attention with his remarkable performance at the PDC World Darts Championship, where he reached the final. Despite his young age, Littler has shown maturity beyond his years, both in his gameplay and personal life. He lives with his family in Warrington, where he has been supported by his parents, Anthony and Lisa, and his older brother, Leon. His family has been instrumental in his career, with his father introducing him to darts at just 18 months old. Littler's life off the oche includes a love for kebabs, Xbox gaming, and football, particularly supporting Manchester United. His relationship with girlfriend Eloise Milburn, also a darts player, has been under scrutiny due to their age difference, but they've received support from their families. His rapid rise has led to lucrative sponsorship deals, including with Target Darts, and he's already earned significant prize money, with potential earnings projected to reach £1 million by the end of 2024. Despite his success, Littler remains grounded, focusing on enjoying his darts and his youth.
