Luke Littler’s bid to win the 2025 World Darts Championship is about to begin.
The 17-year-old superstar will take to Alexandra Palace to face Ryan Meikle, who saw off Fallon Sherrock in the first round in a tense affair. Ever since he got to the final in January, Littler’s life, and that of his family, has changed quickly.
He has already generated more than £1 million in prize money and won the Premier League Darts, the Grand Slam of Darts and other titles on the Euro tour.
The teenager has been splashing the cash, moving into a plush new pad with his family. Before his clash against Meikle, Mirror Sport offers you an insight into Littler’s fascinating life.

Littler took his prize winnings beyond the £1m mark in less than a year. In major winnings alone, Littler has racked up £618,500 in prize money.
When all of his other career earnings are taken into account, he has amassed £1,013,500. If he emerges victorious from Alexandra Palace, he will bank another £500,000.
It is these winnings that have seen him become the World No.4 in less than a year. The biggest prize the teenager has scooped up was his Premier League Darts triumph, which saw him scoop up around £395,000.

Darts fans may remember Littler’s ex-girlfriend Eloise Milburn from his run to the world championship. Milburn, 21, is an amateur darts player who had a relationship with the Warrington native before his run at Alexandra Palace.
However, the couple broke up with each other six months after his loss in the final. Not long after, Littler was playing a video game with popular YouTuber Angry Ginge, when a female voice was heard on his microphone saying: “I’m going to try and get some sleep because I am so tired.”
After the YouTuber tried to barrage Littler into revealing who the girl in his room was, Littler replied: “F*** sake. Your chat is going mad. F*** off. If someone has screen-recorded that, it’s in the papers in the morning. Yep, well played. Why’s the volume all the way up, you f***ing idiot?” It is currently unknown who the girl is and whether they are in a relationship, as Littler has not confirmed any of the rumours.

Instead of supercars and designer jewellery, Littler splashed the cash by renting a new house on Millionaire’s Row in Warrington. He and his family moved from their humble £180,000 home to a £6,000 per month pad in the same area.
According to reports, Littler’s new abode has an indoor pool, a large garden, a home cinema and six bathrooms. Victory at Ally Pally would see him earn another £500,000. If his breath-taking season continues, Littler could afford to buy the home outright and still have plenty of change to spare.
