Luke Littler gets huge hug from emotional mum after 16 year old reaches PDC World Darts Championships final
LUKE LITTLER received a huge hug from his mum after reaching the PDC World Darts Championship final.
The 16-year-old sensation brushed aside Rob Cross in Tuesday night’s semi-final.
He continued his historic run by romping to a 6-2 win to book a place in Wednesday’s final.
After the match, Littler celebrated with his family, including his emotional mum Lisa.
The pair could be seen sharing a loving embrace in the crowd after his victory.
Lisa has cheered on her teenage son throughout the tournament along with the rest of his inner circle.
Littler has had the support of his dad Anthony, sister Caitlin and girlfriend Eloise at Alexandra Palace.
He is now set for a shot at becoming the youngest ever world champion and £500,000 in prize money in the final.
The teenager will take on wither Luke Humphries or Scott Williams on Wednesday night.
Littler sealed his place in the final by racking up a 106.05 average against number eight seed Cross.

The 2018 world champion had taken the first set before losing three in a row to surrender control of the match.
After failing to win the fifth set, Littler regained his momentum to clinch the next three and win the match 6-2.
In doing so, he has already guaranteed himself at least £200,000 in prize money.
The World Youth Champion has now beaten four seeded players at Ally Pally after earlier wins over Andrew Gilding, Raymond van Barneveld and Brendan Dolan.
His darting heroics have even made him an early favourite for BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
