That made the Nuke, who is just 17, an extra £500,000 in earnings as he continues add to his fortune in a short space of time.

It has allowed him to rent a stunning £6,000-per-month for him and parents Anthony Buckley and Lisa Littler.

They moved into the spacious property back in October, according to reports.

And it’s where he will house the trophy he won for winning at Alexandra Palace.

Littler is already planning on where it’ll go.

He said: “When we moved into the house, there were two cabinets on either side of the TV.

“We were like: ‘There’s only one thing going in there, and that’s all the trophies.’

“Will I get a man cave? Not at the minute. I just have to see where it goes.

“Yeah, I’m very different to a normal 17-year-old. I am glad I’ve gotten into this darts world.

“I don’t go out, wandering around the streets. I have really knuckled down on this sport.”

Littler was runner up at the World Darts Championship in 2024 – losing to Luke Humphries.

However, he has now become a national hero after going one better in 2025.

This incredible success story has not just been celebrated by his fans.

David Beckham, his Manchester United hero, sent him a direct message on Instagram, saying congratulations and well done.

While Sir Keir Starmer also offered his thoughts on a job well done.

The Prime Minister said: “Mesmerising performance from Luke Littler to win the World Darts Championship.
