The 16-year-old has won all of his matches at the tournament so far

Luke Littler's girlfriend has revealed she's 'so proud' of the teenager after he made the semi-finals of the World Darts Championship.

The 16-year-old will face off with Rob Cross on Tuesday night knowing he's just two victories away from glory.


Littler, due to his young age, has been the underdog of the tournament so far.

But he's managed to overcome Christian Kist, Andrew Gilding, Matt Campbell, Raymond van Barneveld and Brendan Dolan on his way to the last four.

After his victory over Dolan, Littler was seen hugging and kissing his 21-year-old girlfriend.

The prodigy is currently in a relationship with a beauty consultant called Eloise, who is an amateur darts player herself.

And Eloise has taken to social media to say: "The dream carries on.

"Incredibly proud of you!"

Eloise is expected to be in the crowd for Littler's blockbuster clash with Cross.

And more kisses and hugs will likely lie in wait if the 16-year-old is able to book his place in the final of the competition.

Another person who has been left amazed by Littler's displays at Ally Pally is his grandmother, Carol.

Speaking to the Telegraph, the 64-year-old hailed the youngster by saying: "He started playing darts when he was two and you could see it [the talent].

"He was born to play darts. He gets it from his grandfather.

"He is so laid back that he just doesn't worry. He has nothing to worry about. He is 16."

Littler's grandfather, Phil, added: "I was never as good as he is.

"At the age of four he was playing on a proper board but needed a stool so he could reach up and pull his darts out."

Former darts star Wayne Mardle, meanwhile, has lavished praise on Littler amid his sensational performances in the capital.

"There's not enough words to express what he's doing," he said.

"Sixteen-year-olds don't perform like this, they don't act like him.

"He's just so composed in his interviews, and he never gets carried away. You don't chill before a World semi-final!

"He's an absolute darting freak and that's a word of endearment."

He added: "Ton averages are easy for him.

"James Wade has played in 17 World Championships, and he's never averaged a ton - this is how good it is.

"A lot of people think the wheels will come off and he'll throw in a ropey one and he'll show that he's 16.

"Forget about the age, he doesn't care that he's 16.

"I can't watch the kid enough, it's amazing."

Mardle also thinks Littler has a 'massive opportunity' after Michael van Gerwen's surprising exit.

"It's a massive shock" Mardle said. "Michael van Gerwen normally loses to someone who is a big hitter already, a World champion or a major champion.

"Scott Williams did a number on him. He was there to clean up when he had to clean up and he held it together so well.

"Even Luke Littler and Rob Cross are giving it...what?! What an opportunity for everyone left in the tournament."
