Luke Littler aims cheeky dig at pal AngryGinge as I’m A Celeb’s King of the Jungle after Ally Pally no-show

World darts sensation Luke Littler made headlines again — but this time not just for his performance on the oche.

After kicking off his World Darts Championship title defence with a dominant 3–0 victory over Darius Labanauskas at Alexandra Palace, the 18-year-old took a moment on social media to poke fun at a close friend who wasn’t there to watch him. (The Sun)

Littler’s Instagram story humorously called out Morgan “Angry Ginge” Burtwhistle — a popular streamer and fellow social media figure who recently won I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!. Littler joked his mate had become “too big for the darts now I see” after choosing jungle fame over supporting his friend at Ally Pally. (The Sun)

Angry Ginge, who was a familiar face among the darts crowd last year, missed Littler’s opening match because he had just returned to the UK from Australia following his reality TV victory. Littler’s light-hearted jab acknowledged that absence — but it was all meant in good fun between pals. (The Sun)

While Littler clearly enjoyed the friendly banter, he was also candid about never wanting to follow his friend into the jungle himself. Asked if he’d ever consider appearing on I’m A Celebrity, Littler said the idea of gruelling trials and being away from home was a hard no — even for the right price. (The Sun)

On the sporting side, Littler’s performance at the World Championship remains the story of the moment. The defending champion looks in superb form as he bids to retain the title at what is one of darts’ most iconic stages — an event already buzzing with festive atmosphere and standout moments.

Littler now heads into the second round with momentum firmly on his side, keeping both darts fans and social media followers entertained — whether it’s his precision on the oche or his cheeky digs off it. (The Sun)
