Luke Littler ‘accidentally reveals new girlfriend’ after moving into £6,000-a-month house | Other | sport

Darts sensation Luke Littler appeared to accidentally reveal his ‘new girlfriend’ on a video game live stream.

The 17-year-old has made no secret of his love of the games since bursting onto the sporting scene by reaching the final of the PDC World Championship, with some ex-pros even claiming his fandom is distracting from his talent.

However, Littler has continued to play and was recently caught up in a microphone gaffe that may have revealed that he has a blossoming new relationship.

While playing a boxing game with popular streamer Angryginge13, aka Morgan Burtwistle, a woman’s voice could be heard talking to Littler, instantly fueling speculation about Nuke with a new girlfriend.

An unidentified voice was heard saying, “I’ll try to get some sleep because I’m really tired.” AngryGinge wasted no time in investigating Littler, who plays for his viral EA FC 24 Pro Clubs team ‘Girth N Turf’, about who he was talking to.

“Who the hell is that? Who’s that Luke? Who’s that Luke? He’s got some rot over there! Luke’s hurt,” laughed Burtwistle, as other streamers at the party laughed at Littler’s expense.

The darts ace tellingly replied: “For the love of ***”, after admitting the taunts showed no signs of slowing down. AngryGinge joked, “Let her go to bed, Luke, come on.”

Littler then acknowledged that viewers could hear the woman’s voice, too, and took his gaffe in good humor by laughing: “Your talk is getting crazy, dude. If somebody’s got it on screen, it’s in the morning papers. Yes, well played. Why turn the volume up, you idiot?”
