Fans ask ‘does he still believe in Santa?’ as darts sensation Luke Littler’s mum posts snap of him opening presents

LUKE LITTLER has been a surprise package at the PDC World Darts Championship after storming into the third round aged just 16.

Beating Christian Kist and Andrew Gilding seems to have left some people forgetting that Littler is still only a teenager, as well as his uncanny similarity to one Inbetweeners character.

But darts fans were issued a timely reminder of “The Nukes” age after mum, Lisa posted a picture of him on Christmas Day.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, she shared a picture of kebab-loving Littler sitting by a Christmas tree and opening some presents.

She captioned the post: “Just a 16-year-old opening his prezzys .”

Taking to the comments, one fan asked the age-old question: “Does he still believe in Santa?”

A second said: “Does he know Father Christmas isn’t real yet?”

A third said: “This has seriously, seriously spun my head.”

Another said: “He’s hoping to unwrap a donner with cheese and garlic sauce.”

A fifth added: “The fact he probably still believes in Santa and could earn over 100K over the next week ”

The total prize pool for this year’s tournament stands at a cool £3.2million.

What a present that would be!

Littler is back in action on December 27 against Matt Campbell.

The Ally Pally crowd will be sure to give him a huge welcome back after serenading him by chanting “he’s got school in the morning”.
