Teenage darts sensation Luke Littler has revealed he's been receiving requests from girls asking to meet up following his historic World Championship victory and recent 18th birthday.
The newly-crowned world champion disclosed that his increased profile has brought additional attention since his triumph at Alexandra Palace.
"Extra attention comes with me winning the world title and certain reporting restrictions are lifted at the age of 18 so that will have an impact," Littler told the Daily Mail.
The young champion has chosen to ignore these advances, revealing he generally doesn't respond to such requests.

Reuters"I have had a few requests from girls to meet up. But I generally don't reply. It's just people looking at me and the money I am making, and they want part of that," Littler explained.
Following his parents' guidance, Littler has opted to maintain his existing friendships rather than pursue new relationships.
"My mum and dad told me to keep the friends I have," he said.
Littler's focus remains firmly on his darts career, with dating taking a back seat for now.
"Give it a few years and I may meet someone along the way," the teenage champion said, indicating his priorities lie elsewhere.

Despite his newfound fame, Littler maintains close ties with his school friends who are pursuing various careers.
"I have a couple of good friends from school and a few friends from different schools," he shared.
His friendship circle reflects normal teenage life, with Littler explaining: "They are doing well. They have apprenticeships, at Asda or McDonald's, or want to be plumbers or electricians. All have good jobs and are trying to make money for themselves."
Littler's rise to stardom began during his remarkable run at Alexandra Palace, where he went on to defeat Michael van Gerwen in the World Championship final.
