At just 16, darts sensation Luke Littler is on course to write one of the greatest fairytale stories in sporting history.

But asked what he's like away from the darts oche, Luke 'The Nuke' Littler paints a picture of a regular stay-at-home teenager.

'Just wake up, play on my Xbox, have some food, have a chuck on the board and go to bed, that's it,' he said, adding: 'I don't engage with anything outside the house.'

Well, that's all about to change. With the nation, and a growing army of fans around the world, waiting on tenterhooks for today's match in the World Darts Championship at London's Alexandra Palace, this video-game loving youngster has become an instant celebrity.
