Luke Littler’s girlfriend’s mum reveals romance with darts star is ‘not serious’ – but could be in future
THE mum of Luke Littler’s girlfriend has said the romance is “not serious” just yet – but it could be in the future.
The 16-year-old sensation has lit up the PDC World Darts Championship with his underdog story.
Amazingly, he has gone from 164th ranked to the top ten in the world as an unlikely finalist at Ally Pally.
And cheering him on all the way is his girlfriend Eloise Milburn, 21, with whom he is believed to have met while playing Xbox.
The couple are said to have met only six weeks ago, so Eloise did not even want mum Amanda and dad Phil to meet her darts star boyfriend just yet.
Amanda told the Daily Mail: “They’re in a growing relationship, not a very serious one – although that might come later.

“I asked her for tickets because me and Phil would love to see Luke in action, but Eloise just says, ‘Mum, please, I don’t want you meeting him just yet, it’s too soon.’
“I’ve never been to the World Darts Championship and you would have thought that I’d be able to get a ticket now my daughter is dating Luke, but sadly that’s not the case.”
Eloise and her parents are both big darts fans and Amanda is optimistic about the young couple’s future together.
She said: “We are a darts family, we love playing this sport and are all very dedicated to it.

“It’s quite ironic that I met my husband through darts and Eloise might have met hers in the same way.
“It’s still early days for them and she’ll kill me if I bring up talk of marriage.”
Littler can become the youngest PDC championship winner ever with victory over Luke Humphries tonight.
And he got prepared for the life-changing match by enjoying a ham and cheese omelette with Eloise and his parents.
Littler guaranteed himself £200,000 so far on his sensational run to the final – but going all the way will see him become £500,000 richer.
And how would the teenage kebab and video game loving legend spend his winnings?
He told the Telegraph. “I always treat myself to some Under Armour tracksuits.
“And just get myself a new coat and get myself some Fifa points for my Xbox. That’s pretty much it.”
