The duo have risen to prominence amid the 17-year-old's remarkable darts displays

Luke Littler has been hailed by fans online after playing EA FC with girlfriend Eloise Milburn and streaming their gaming session on TikTok.

The duo are currently in the spotlight with Littler continuing to take the darts world by storm.


He became a household name earlier this month when he made the final of the World Darts Championship, where he lost to Luke Humphries.

Littler responded by winning the Bahrain Masters, however, and he made the final of the Dutch Masters over the weekend.

On Thursday, the teenager will make his Premier League debut.

He will go up against Humphries in Cardiff, with supporters from all over the world expected to tune in.

But Littler has wowed his fans by playing popular sports video game EA FC with girlfriend Eloise just days before the big event kicks off.

The darts star and his other half streamed their session on TikTok, with thousands tuning in.

And fans have reacted online, with one saying: “3k people watching Luke Littler play Pro Clubs is peak entertainment.”

A second said: “Littler goes from playing MVG in a final to streaming FUT Champs on TikTok.”

A third weighed in by saying: “I go onto TikTok and see Luke Littler streaming FUT Champs, if you don’t already love the boy then something is wrong with you.”

And a fourth said: “Na Luke Littler was just in the Dutch Masters final 24 hours ago, now he’s sat on FIFA opening packs on TikTok. What a guy.”

Littler and Eloise have, however, faced abuse over their relationship.

There is currently a four-year age gap between the pair, with Eloise 21 years old.

However, speaking earlier in the week, Littler made it clear he wasn't fazed by trolls online.

"We knew people would find out [about their relationship] but it started off very bad," he said.

"As the weeks go on [the abuse of Milburn on social media] has been almost forgotten.

"We’ve been talking for a few months now.

"I’ve brung her along to the worlds, got to the final and whatever people say, they can say it.

"It’s not going to affect me or my mental strength.

"I’ve got guys doing my Instagram now and they delete it before I see it."

Eloise also admitted she initially let the abuse get to her - but is pressing on with her life regardless.

"It was tough to start with. The first day I let it get to me a lot," she said.

"But you learn that as long as the pair of you are happy, that’s all that matters. The people that matter most are supportive of us."

Eloise's mother, Amanda, said recently that comments aimed at her daughter were 'disgusting'.

"There’s been a lot of horrible stuff being posted online about my daughter and my husband Phil and I are very angry about it," she told the Daily Mail.

"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."
