EAGLE-EYED fans spotted a bizarre Sky Sports blunder during the Grand Slam of Darts final.
Luke Littler smashed Martin Lukeman 16-3 in last night’s final as he claimed his tenth title this year.

But in the build-up to the highly-anticipated clash, fans noticed an error about the 17-year-old.
A picture of Littler flashed up on screen as part of a graphic, with it strangely titled “bug height”.
The blunder was spotted by former Soccer AM presenter Helen Chamberlain, who shared it on social media alongside the caption: “Erm… What?”
Another viewer joked: “Surely he is not that short.”
The words “bug height” are likely to be placeholder text that was accidentally not changed by the production team.
And it was not the only mistake spotted yesterday as the Sky Sports scoreboard briefly stopped working in Littler’s dramatic semi-final win over Gary Anderson.
The usual graphic was replaced by the PDC’s own version for a few visits until the problem was immediately fixed.
Littler’s stunning win in the final saw his career earnings rise to £1million.

Runner-up Lukeman revealed what fuelled the wonderkid’s sensational performance, saying: “He has a Boost, a meal deal, a curry and walks up there and smashes me like that.
“But he has just had a curry, a Boost and a couple of those little half pink and half white sweets – Squashies – for his half-time.
“This boy is a joke. But I take my hat off to him, he is absolutely awesome.”
Winning the Grand Slam has been a good omen going into the World Championship as the last two Ally Pally winners in Michael Smith and Luke Humphries also won in Wolverhampton a month before.
