“PROUD” girlfriend Eloise shared a touching message after boyfriend Luke Littler became Premier League Darts champion last night.

Littler broke down in tears after becoming the youngest-ever Premier League Darts champ.

The teen then roared at the doubters he had silenced as he collected the pyramid-shape trophy.

His victory over Humphries, who says he was also battling against a “massive breeze” on-stage, came after a stunning nine-darter, which occurred following a quick bathroom break.

That was the first time that feat had occurred in a Prem final since the legendary Phil Taylor struck two in 2010 against James Wade.

The world’s most famous darts player has pocketed £275,000 for this stunning triumph and also landed a £40,000 bonus for the four nightly victories, which saw him top the table.

After posting a celebratory message on Instagram, he was quickly congratulated by Manchester United and Harry Maguire on his win.

And it did not take long for his 21-year-old girlfriend Eloise to join in.

The blonde posted a smiling selfie snap of her alongside her partner along with a shot of her hugging him that was picked up by Sky Sports’ cameras.

Those photos came accompanied with a touching caption that read: “Premier League Champion 2024 ❤???? The proudest girlfriend ????????.”

Littler himself soon paid tribute to his loved ones in the early hours with a photo dump of his own.

The first showed him receiving a hug from his mother before that was followed with one of him holding the trophy alongside his parents.

The third showed his dad embracing him seconds after his triumph before a lovely shot of him and Eloise with his new prize.

He finished up the collection of snaps with two more of him and who appear to be his sponsors.

Littler captioned them with: “Been 17 long weeks and couldn’t have done it without all the support from my family, Eloise, Martin, sponsors and everyone in my team❤ thank you for everything????????.”

Luke and Eloise’s relationship first made headlines on January 1, 2024, after they were seen sharing a kiss at the PDC World Darts Championships at Ally Pally.

After walking away from the dartboard and into the semi-finals of the competition, Littler was seen taking selfies with fans and locking lips with Eloise as she wore the same blue shirt as him in the crowd.

Eloise is a beauty consultant, Avon sales rep and darts player who reportedly worked behind the bar at Hersham Golf Club, but has now left that job.

She is a big fan of musical theatre, regularly attending performances, and also has a stunning singing voice.

Eloise demonstrated that when a video on TikTok of her singing Adele‘s No1 hit ‘Easy On Me’ went viral and has been viewed over 2,500 times.

Meanwhile, Littler revealed that he ditched his usual habit of picking up the Fifa console during the hour-long break before the final and went on the practice board instead.

He said: “I’m just enjoying it at the moment and we’ll see what the future brings.

“I was watching this at home on the telly 12 months ago.

“It’s been a crazy six months. I’d get stopped a lot in the street but that’s all part of it and I imagine that will happen a bit more now!

“Tonight was probably the most I’ve practised in a long time. I’m very proud of my achievements – the practice has paid off.”

Inside Littler's massive rise

He is also cashing in away from the Oche thanks to an Instagram side hustle.

And he’s even the face of a brand new cereal.
