Littler went viral on social media for his supposed love of kebabs at Alexandra Palace, but insisted that he has to take care of himself now as a professional athlete. But it is a totally different story when he retires, potentially at the age of 27.
“It’s just about looking after yourself on tour,” he explained. “Soon as I got my tour card, my manager sat me down and said when you finish it could be 11 or 12, it’s literally all fast food, burgers or whatever. So I’ve got to look after myself, eat before I play.
“And when I’ve finished, even if I stay up to whenever, I just won’t eat. This is my new way of living. I love darts, and it’s going to be like this for ten, fifteen years.”
