Luke Littler has issued a light-hearted but pointed warning to his new girlfriend after she was spotted mixing with celebrities following his meteoric rise to the very top of darts.
The teenage world champion has become one of British sport’s most recognisable faces over the past year, with his success at the World Darts Championship propelling him far beyond the oche and into mainstream celebrity circles. With that newfound fame has come increased attention on his private life — including those closest to him.
Speaking candidly, Littler admitted he has noticed his girlfriend beginning to experience the spotlight that comes with dating one of sport’s biggest stars, joking that she is now “getting a taste of the lifestyle” as she attends events and social gatherings alongside well-known faces.
While the comments were delivered with a smile, Littler was keen to stress the importance of staying grounded amid the whirlwind that surrounds his career.
“Just don’t forget where it all comes from,” he said, laughing, as he acknowledged how quickly things can change once fame enters the picture.
The 18-year-old has consistently emphasised that he prefers a low-key life away from darts, often spending time with family and close friends rather than chasing the celebrity scene. He has previously admitted that the sudden fame can feel “mad” at times, especially given how rapidly it has arrived.
Fans were quick to react to Littler’s remarks, with many praising the world champion for keeping a level head despite his extraordinary success. Others noted that his comments reflected a maturity beyond his years, as he continues to navigate global attention both on and off the stage.
As Littler prepares for another packed year on the darts circuit, his warning appeared less about jealousy and more about balance — a reminder that while fame and celebrity encounters may come and go, staying true to yourself remains the real priority.
