Darts star Luke Littler, at just 18 years old, is the figurehead of an entire sport. Apparently, however, the Englishman can imagine appearing on television in a different way than usual.
Luke Littler is one of the most sought-after and well-known faces in the darting world. The 18-year-old is omnipresent. In a media round, he was asked whether he could imagine taking part in the British version of the jungle camp (“I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!”).
“Maybe,” Littler laughed at the question, “If the right amount of money is put on the table, I would dare to spend a few weeks in the jungle.” The background is that his friend and YouTube star “Angry Ginge” is a candidate in the current edition – much to the delight of the Englishman.

According to his own statement, Littler had known for a long time that “Angry Ginge” would go into the jungle, he grinned and added: “I’m sure he’ll do well. We have to vote to see what he has to eat!” For “The Nuke”, the change between entertainment and seriousness is part of it.
Nevertheless, Littler is aware of his growing role model function. “I feel a certain responsibility. I know what I’ve done for the sport in the last 18 to 19 months. More and more people are watching darts, buying PDC TV or streams – the sport is growing. Darts is really moving in the right direction,” he said.
At the end of the year, Littler is aiming for the next big triumph of his still young career. As title holder, he is again one of the absolute favorites at the Darts World Cup 2026.
