Luke Littler, 16, issues an apology after causing a stir on social media for being photographed holding The Sun newspaper - as Warrington-born darts star says 'I didn't fully understand at the time what I was being asked to do'

Luke Littler has issued an online apology to fans after posing for a photo holding up The Sun newspaper amid his sensational run at the World Darts Championship.

Littler, who is still only 16, came into this year's tournament as somewhat of an unknown quantity but has won three straight matches to progress to the last 16 at Alexandra Palace.

As he has made his way through the rounds, media coverage has only increased for the teenage star, and he was pictured in The Sun on Friday with the newspaper in one hand and a doner kebab - his trademark celebratory meal - in the other.
