Gerwyn Price Says ‘Don’t Bite’ After Heated Response to Luke Littler Jibe
Gerwyn Price has played down a fiery exchange involving Luke Littler after a brief war of words sparked reaction among darts fans.
The former world champion appeared to respond pointedly after a comment involving Littler circulated on social media, prompting speculation of growing tension between two of the sport’s biggest personalities. Price, never one to shy away from controversy, initially reacted forcefully before later urging fans not to overanalyse the situation.
Posting online, Price wrote: “Don’t bite,” suggesting the exchange was being blown out of proportion and was not as serious as some supporters had assumed.
The incident comes at a time when Littler’s rapid rise continues to dominate headlines, with the teenage world champion now a central figure in almost every major darts discussion. Any interaction involving Littler is closely scrutinised, particularly when it includes outspoken figures such as Price.
While some fans interpreted Price’s initial reaction as frustration, others viewed it as typical competitive banter between elite professionals. The Welshman has previously made it clear that he thrives on mind games and emotion, both on and off the oche.
Neither player has suggested there is any lingering issue, and both remain focused on their performances on the World Series circuit as the new season gathers momentum.
With Littler continuing to set records and Price eager to reassert himself among the elite, encounters between the pair are likely to remain box office — regardless of any off-stage exchanges.
