Darts star Peter Wright has lifted the lid on teenage sensation Luke Littler’s rather unusual pre-match routine.

Littler's rise to superstardom began during his run to the World Championship final at Alexandra Palace in January.

The 17-year-old was eventually beaten by Luke Humphries but captured the heart of the nation with his performances.

He has since gone on to capture the Bahrain Masters title and earned himself a place in Premier League Darts where he has gone on to win three times so far.

Littler is known for his cool and calm persona on stage but Wright revealed his pre-match ritual is a little different to that of the seasoned pros.

“He’s doing fantastic and he’s great for the sport,” Wright told talkSPORT.
