Eloise Milburn has revealed she's 'so proud' of Luke Littler after his terrific run at the recent World Darts Championship.
The 16-year-old made the final of the competition at Alexandra Palace before losing to Luke Humphries.
While Humphries won the ultimate prize, however, it was his younger rival who stole all the headlines.
Littler is a phenomenon and has been dating 21-year-old Eloise, who cheered him on at Ally Pally.

The couple have been criticised in some corners for their five-year age gap.
But Milburn has made it clear she's delighted to be with Littler and proud of the way he recently performed in London.
Taking to social media, she said: "What a whirlwind of a few weeks it’s been.
"All I can say is I’m incredibly proud of what this one has achieved. Simples."
And Littler then replied with a love heart emoji, adding: "In this together."
The couple shared hugs and kisses as Littler made the final of the WDC.
The teenager has vowed to help Eloise, an amateur darts player herself, reach the very top of the sport.
“Yeah, obviously I’ve just played in that one, so hopefully I can practise with Eloise and try and get her to where I am," he said.
Eloise plays at the Walton Working Men's Club.
And she also represents the Surrey Women's darts side, too.
Though details of their relationship remain largely under wraps, the pair reportedly met while playing FIFA on Xbox.
And Littler admitted after his final defeat that he was looking forward to being reunited with his favourite console.
“Yeah, I can’t wait to go back on my Xbox," he said.
Littler also confessed to practising for just half an hour to 45 minutes a day because he can get bored.
“Believe it or not, about half an hour, 45 minutes [per day]," the youngster added.

"Eloise has been accused of all sorts and that she’s only with Luke because of his money and fame.

"But that’s a total pack of lies and disgusting.
"She’s not with him for any of these reasons.
"She doesn’t care about his money or his fame, she’s with him because she likes him. It’s as simple as that."
She added: "It’s really hurtful when we read these comments, many of them from so called darts fans.
"My daughter is none of these things that these vile people are making out."
