During the 2025 Premier League Darts Night 16 in Sheffield on May 22, Nathan Aspinall and Luke Littler shared a lighthearted moment that showcased their camaraderie, with Aspinall’s relaxed demeanor stealing the spotlight. As captured by Sky Sports during a break at Utilita Arena, the two were seen joking at the Littler & Aspinall Shop launch event earlier that day at Meadowhall, prompting commentator Mark Webster to remark, “Look how relaxed Aspinall is!” The exchange, highlighted on X by @SkySportsDarts, showed Aspinall playfully teasing Littler about his 128-checkout showboating in a 6-1 rout of Stephen Bunting, with Littler laughing off the banter.
Aspinall, fighting for a play-off spot, went on to defeat Michael van Gerwen 6-4 in the quarter-finals, securing his place in the May 29 final at The O2. His relaxed vibe, evident in their shop’s fan meet-and-greet where they signed merchandise for £5 tickets, contrasted with the high-stakes match. Littler, already locked in as league leader with a record 42 points, joined Aspinall in engaging fans, with @DartsFanatic23 noting, “Nathan’s chill vibes and Luke’s confidence are unbeatable.” Their friendship, forged through The Fan Cave sponsorship, added a fun dynamic to the night, with Aspinall’s humor complementing Littler’s dominance as they prepare for the play-offs.
