Luke Littler makes U-turn over I’m A Celebrity appearance after watching pal Angry Ginge crowned King of the Jungle
Luke Littler has hinted he may finally be open to entering the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle—after previously insisting it would take an eye-watering fee to tempt him.
The teenage darts sensation, who has become one of Britain’s most in-demand sports stars, had long maintained that reality TV wasn’t for him. But that stance appears to have softened following the victory of his close friend and fellow social media favourite, Angry Ginge, who was crowned King of the Jungle in this year’s series.
“Never say never anymore”
According to those close to the 18-year-old, Littler was glued to the show’s finale and was “buzzing” to see Angry Ginge take the crown. The win seems to have sparked a rethink, with Littler reportedly telling friends that he could now imagine taking on the challenge himself one day.
Just weeks ago, he laughed off the idea, even joking that the only way he’d head into the Australian jungle would be for a “ridiculous amount of money.” Now, however, he appears more open-minded.
“Luke absolutely loved watching his mate smash it,” a source said. “Seeing Angry Ginge go all the way has definitely made him think twice. He’s not saying yes… but he’s not saying no anymore either.”
Fans already love the idea
Supporters have reacted with excitement online, imagining Littler facing Bushtucker Trials and bringing his trademark confidence to the camp.
One fan wrote:
“Luke Littler in the jungle? Inject it. We need it!”
Another joked:
“If he can hit nine-dart finishes under pressure, he can eat a few bugs.”
A packed schedule could be the only obstacle
While Littler might now be willing, fitting the show into his calendar remains a major challenge. The PDC World Championships begin every December—right in the middle of I’m A Celebrity’s run—meaning any appearance would require a break from darts or a shift in scheduling.
For now, Littler remains fully focused on his career, but his U-turn has given ITV bosses hope that a jungle appearance could be possible in a future series.
From Ally Pally to the Outback?
He may be one of the most feared players on the oche, but fans are now dreaming of seeing whether Littler could conquer creepy crawlies, camp chores, and late-night trials with the same composure.
And with Angry Ginge’s success fresh in his mind, the idea suddenly doesn’t seem so far-fetched.
