Watch awkward moment Luke Littler FORGETS he’s playing in darts tournament boasting whopping £600,000 prize pot
LUKE LITTLER hilariously forgot he was playing in the World Grand Prix next week during an online stream.
The 17-year-old sensation will compete for the £600,000 prize pot in Leicester when it gets underway on Monday.
And he will have to be on form from the first round when he faces former world champion Rob Cross.
But Littler has clearly been switching off from darts in recent days as it completely slipped his mind he was even playing in the Grand Prix.
Streamer Angry Ginge asked Littler: “Luke, you know on Monday your tourny [tournament]…”
There was then a long pause before Littler remembered and replied: “Oh, the Grand Prix”.
This sent Ginge into hysterics as he responded: “He didn’t even know he had it. He didn’t even know he was playing”.
Citing the Players Championship 25, Littler added: “I didn’t even know I was playing this week in Wigan”.
Littler heads into the World Grand Prix off the back of a quarter-final exit to Chris Dobey in the Players Championship this week.
Elsewhere in the draw, world No2 Michael Smith will take on Gary Anderson in another box office clash.
