He is also one of the favourites to win the World Matchplay this weekend, which would be his fifth major in just his second year on the Pro Tour.
George has been impressed by the youngster’s displays, particularly his finishing ability.
But he warned there is a danger in darts of going from hero to zero very quickly.
He told SunSport: “Littler could go on and on because he’s got youth on his side.
“But in darts, there’s one thing in darts. You can be hero to zero quick.
“You’ve got to keep on that dartboard. You’ve got to practice. They say well he doesn’t practice. Well he’s an idiot if he doesn’t.
“Personally. He’s got to keep that muscle memory going. That’s all it is. Because when you don’t use it you lose it.”
George, 79, was full or praise for Littler too, highlighting a key area some players often overlook – counting.

He continued: “The boy’s a fantastic player obviously. His finishing.
“He’s unbelievable at double 10. You know he’s just missed tops he’s playing double 10. He’s finishing really good.
“He can count good as well which is a good thing because a lot of youngsters don’t count. He can learn to count.”
