Luke Littler's brother is reportedly set to give up his job as a taxi driver to work full-time ferrying his sibling to darts tournaments.
The 16-year-old has enjoyed a stunning rise to prominence over the past few weeks, taking the World Darts Championship by storm.
Littler booked his place in the final of the competition with an emphatic 6-2 victory over Rob Cross on Tuesday.
He will lock horns with Luke Humphries in the final after his fellow Briton cruised to a 6-0 win over Scott Williams.

According to The Sun, Littler's brother Leon is set to give up being a taxi driver.
And that's because he'll now drive his sibling around to major tournaments instead.
Leon has been blown away by Littler's performances at Ally Pally.
And he feels his brother's hard work is paying off in London, telling the newspaper: “There are videos of Luke as young as just 18 months old in a nappy throwing darts and copying the celebrations of then-champions such as Phil Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld, who he beat on Sunday.
"But my first clear memories are when Luke was about five.
"He’d play darts whenever he could — sometimes just stopping for a meal before starting again.
“If Mum and Dad tried to take the darts away from him there’d be a real scene with him crying loudly.
“My dad was a very keen player and, as soon as he realised Luke had a talent, he wanted to nurture this.”
Leon also expressed a belief that his brother will remain grounded, regardless of what happens in tonight's final.
He said: “Nothing’s changed Luke and I know nothing ever will.
"He’s very down to earth, and keeps his feet on the ground.
“He’s still the caring and devoted brother who grew up with me.”
Leon is father to a 12-week-old baby, George.
Littler has been a doting uncle so far - with the 16-year-old buying his nephew a darts board to get him started.

“When George was born, he bought him his very own dartboard and can’t wait for him to be old enough to play.
"He’s also just bought him a new pram.
“We’ve already got George a pair of ear defenders and hope to take him to watch Luke very soon.
“We’re sure that George knows when Luke is on the TV as he smiles and gurgles in front of the screen!
“I haven’t had a chance to go down to watch but both my parents are there to support him — although mum’s the nervous one who gets extremely anxious when Luke is playing.”
