LUKE 'The Nuke' Littler cannot wait to get back on his Xbox following his journey to the World Darts Championship final.

The 16-year-old Warringtonian became the sport’s youngest finalist on his debut at Alexandra Palace before narrowly losing to world number one Luke Humphries on Wednesday night.

His run to the final grabbed headlines around the world but despite his new-found fame his immediate plans revolve around catching up on some gaming time.

The former Padgate Academy pupil told ITV’s Good Morning Britain: “I can’t wait to go back on my Xbox.

“I didn’t bring it because I didn’t think I would get to the final.

“I only practice for half an hour a day, because I get bored and have my Xbox next to me.”

Littler, who moved to Warrington from Runcorn early in his childhood, had one dart at double two to take out 124 for a 5-2 lead but narrowly missed.

Humphries took full advantage by hitting double 14 to take the set before going on to win 7-4.

'The Nuke' admitted his mind went blank during the combination finish which caused him to pause.

He added: “I took out a 122 beforehand and my mind went blank and I had to stop my rhythm and I just lost it.

“I think the more you play, you know what you go for, what you set up and what you finish, you get used to it.”

Littler will take a lot from his first experience of playing at Alexandra Palace and does not expect the hype around his exploits to result in more pressure from those close to him.

“I’ll take the experience,” he said.

“I’ve got the fans, all the fans that have gathered around me. It’s crazy, it’s non stop, they chant me, the other Luke, they do all sorts. It’s non stop but you’ve got to get on with it.

“I’ve got a good manager and family who don’t put any pressure on me.”

Humphries is the man to beat at the top of sport and the teenager hopes to put an end to his winning streak at some point in the future.

He said: “He’s just a top guy. There is a picture from five years ago when we played at a competition and he beat me, but all respect to him.

“He’s still on a 19-win streak and won the last four majors, so hopefully I can stop the streak somewhere.”
