DARTS sensation Luke Littler was on the receiving end of a cheeky dig from the announcer following his Australian Darts Masters victory.
The 18-year-old added to his trophy cabinet on Saturday with victory over Mike De Decker.

He beat the Dutch thrower 8-4 to secure his fourth World Series title.
But not all was well in the world of Littler based on his post-match interview.
When asked what his plans were between his win and the New Zealand event next weekend, he said he would sleep.
“We don’t have it easy us darts players,” he joked.
The announcer snapped back with his own tongue in cheek response, quipping “woe is you” at the teenager.
Sleep, or lack thereof, has been a recurring theme for the English thrower during his tournaments Down Under.
In an interview earlier in the tournament, he relayed his troubles with remaining fully awake at the oche.
Littler said: “People don’t see behind the scenes but body clock, [I’ve] not been sleeping too much over here, but I am just getting used to it now.”

His plan to remain prepared for the rest of the tournament was short but sweet, and clearly ended up working for him.
He added: “Get some good sleep tonight and try to stay awake as much as possible.”
Littler’s meteoric rise in the world of darts has seen him build up quite the trophy cabinet, and bank account, since his debut two years ago.
His victory in Australia means he bags the £30,000 top prize.
But that is just a drop in the ocean of his career earnings, with his net worth reportedly exceeding £1.5million, including over £1m in winnings from 2024 alone.
