Luke Littler, the 17-year-old darts sensation, may have accidentally revealed a budding romance during an online gaming session, sparking speculation among fans and stream viewers. Littler, who is widely regarded as one of the brightest young talents in darts, was live-streaming a video game boxing match against popular streamer Morgan Burtwistle, known online as “angryginge13.” However, it wasn’t the match that caught everyone’s attention—it was a mysterious female voice that spoke through Littler’s microphone during the broadcast.
As Littler was immersed in the virtual fight, a woman’s voice was unexpectedly heard saying, “I’m gonna try and get some sleep because I’m so tired.” The sudden interruption was quickly seized upon by Burtwistle and others in the stream. In a lighthearted yet teasing tone, Burtwistle immediately began questioning Littler about the unknown voice. “Who the f*** is that? Who’s that, Luke? Who’s that, Luke? He’s had a rotter there! Luke’s had a rotter!” Burtwistle exclaimed, laughing along with the other viewers.
Littler, clearly caught off guard by the slip-up, responded with a simple yet telling, “F***’s sake.” His brief outburst of frustration hinted that he hadn’t intended for the voice to be heard by the audience, adding fuel to the fire of speculation about his romantic life.
This unexpected microphone mishap comes just a few months after Littler ended a high-profile relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Eloise Milburn. The couple had been together for about 10 months and were frequently seen at Littler’s major matches, where Milburn was a constant presence in his corner. Their relationship had blossomed just weeks before the 2024 PDC World Championship, where Littler made headlines with his impressive run to the final, marking him as one of the sport’s rising stars.
The relationship between Littler and Milburn had garnered attention as the young darts prodigy’s popularity soared. Over the course of their romance, the pair shared several moments in the public eye, including a memorable holiday to New York in May, which they took alongside other darts stars and Littler’s parents, Lisa and Anthony. However, their relationship came to an end just three months ago, leaving fans curious about Littler’s personal life as he continued to rise in prominence.
With the recent microphone gaffe, many are now speculating that Littler may have a new romantic interest. The incident has certainly fueled rumors, especially since the unknown woman’s voice caught everyone, including Littler, by surprise. Although Littler has not publicly addressed the speculation, his reaction during the livestream suggests that the voice was not meant to be shared with the public.
Shortly after the incident, Littler humorously acknowledged the chaos it had caused. “Your chat is going mad,” he said, referring to the viewers’ reactions. Clearly frustrated, he added, “F*** off. If someone has screen recorded that, it’s in the papers in the morning. Yep, well played. Why’s the volume all the way up, you f***ing idiot?” His remarks pointed to the inevitability that the clip would be widely circulated, likely making headlines.
This glimpse into Littler’s personal life also coincides with significant changes in his living arrangements. According to *The Mirror*, the young darts star has recently moved into a luxurious five-bedroom house, which he is reportedly leasing for £6,000 per month. The impressive property, which he shares with his parents, boasts a large garden, six bathrooms, and an indoor swimming pool. The move reflects the success and financial rewards that have come with Littler’s meteoric rise in the darts world.
In recent social media posts, Littler’s family has given fans a peek into their new home. His mother, Lisa, was seen in one Instagram post relaxing by the indoor pool while watching darts on a large screen. Their dog, Nala, was also pictured lounging nearby. Littler’s father, Anthony, has similarly shared glimpses of their new life, posting a photo of himself watching an Aston Villa vs. Manchester United match on the home’s massive television screen, with the caption: “Super Sunday and a dip.”
The house move, combined with Littler’s continued success in darts and now this potential new romance, marks a new chapter in his life. Despite his young age, Littler has already made a name for himself in the darts world, and his personal life is becoming a topic of interest for fans and the media alike.
While Littler has not confirmed whether the unidentified female voice from the livestream is a new girlfriend, the incident has certainly sparked intrigue. As one of darts’ most promising young stars, his every move—both on and off the stage—will continue to capture the attention of his growing fanbase. For now, though, it seems Littler is focused on his career and settling into his new home with his family, enjoying the fruits of his hard-earned success. Whether or not romance is part of that equation remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Luke Littler’s journey, both professionally and personally, is one that fans will eagerly follow.
