Luke Littler has been spotted with rumoured girlfriend Faith Millar after the teen romped to victory on night eight of the Premier League in Newcastle. The arrowsmith has been linked to the fun-loving beautician, who is believed to live just 15 minutes from Littler’s hometown, Warrington.

Littler, who turned 18 in January, split with previous partner Eloise Milburn last year. Since then, the Nuke has gone on to lift his maiden World Championship title, beating Michael van Gerwen in the Alexandra Palace showdown and has shot up to second in the world rankings.

The teen also leads the way at the top of this year’s Premier League standings, boasting a cushty eight-point advantage over second-placed Luke Humphries. Littler beat his old foe in Thursday’s final at the Utilita Arena Newcastle, with Millar having been spotted leaving the venue in the company of the darts ace afterwards.

Despite sources close to the pair denying they’re an item, Littler has been described as being “inseparable” from the 19-year-old ever since they met. Littler was seen wearing a relaxed black Represent hoodie with a pair of dark trousers and black trainers, while his companion sported a similar look with a grey hooded jumper, blue jeans and a pair of Nike Dunk trainers.

Millar would’ve no doubt liked what she saw from Littler in Newcastle, given the world No.2 secured his fourth nightly win of this year’s competition at a canter. Kicking things off with a whitewash against Stephen Bunting, Littler secured an equally dominant win over Rob Cross in the semi-final, before despatching Humphries 6-1 in the final.

Commenting after his victory in the North East, Littler opened up about how his relationship with the fellow players has changed since he turned 18. Speaking to Sky Sports presenter Emma Paton, Littler stated: “There’s always been banter, but obviously now I’m 18, there’s more banter I can get involved in.” Before responding “yeah” with a cheeky grin when asked by Wayne Mardle if he’s now the one dishing out the jokes.

The Premier League leader did admit that the relentless schedule was beginning to take a toll on his body, revealing he “didn’t want to” come out for the final. He added: “The winning feeling [keeps me going], even just winning the first game tonight [vs Bunting]. You can just relax, go on to the semi-final and final. Even when I came down to the bottom of the stairs, I was tired, I didn’t want to come up here, but it’s another trophy and it was another two points on the line.”

Littler returns to action next Thursday when the Premier League continues for week nine from Berlin, Germany.
