Luke Littler insists his sole focus is on completing the set of major trophies by winning the European Championship.

Littler is in Dortmund , trying to win the only big event he has yet to claim in a dominant first two years on the scene.

But the teenager is set to take part in a huge Netflix show next week where 24 players are vying to win £501,000 by beating him in a one-off leg.

‘Beat Luke Littler’ has become a major talking point this week after Fallon Sherrock , who reached the third round of the World Championship in 2020, and World Darts Federation number one Mitchell Lawrie were announced as contestants, a decision which has received significant backlash.

Littler, who posted a video of himself practising for the show earlier in the week, did not take direct questions on the subject, but says he is only worried about what happens in Germany this weekend.

He got off to a good start on Friday night with a 6-3 win over William O’Connor, setting up a second-round clash with Nathan Aspinall.
