But he was gifted a cake with his photo on it by a GIANT COW during a visit to Buffalo Wings & Rings in Bahrain with his loved ones earlier this week.
Littler looked stunned as ‘Happy Birthday’ played in the background and a person dressed in the cow suit walked towards him with the cake.
The edible cake topper had a picture of Littler celebrating his World Darts Championship victory.
Littler warmed up to the surprise after the music changed to 50 Cent’s ‘In Da Club’, flashing a big cheeser of a smile.
And after a slight hesitation, he blew out the candle on the cake – much to the delight of his mum, Lisa, and his pals.
Littler’s dad – Anthony – shared footage of the wholesome moment on his Instagram.
His accompanying caption, which included a cake emoji, read: “Class night last night.”
Scores of his followers then proceeded to wish his son a happy birthday, despite it not being until next week.
