During the recent World Darts Championship, Luke Littler humorously criticized his friend, Morgan Burtwhistle, known as Angry Ginge, for not attending the event at Alexandra Palace (Ally Pally). Littler, defending his title, secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Darius Labanauskas.

Social Media Banter
In a lighthearted moment, Littler pointed out the absence of Burtwhistle, who was a significant presence during Littler’s championship win last year. He posted on Instagram to tease Burtwhistle, saying, “Too big for the darts now I see, won the jungle have we?”
The exchange is reflective of their camaraderie, as Littler jokingly expressed regret over voting for Burtwhistle on “I’m A Celeb,” now that he had become King of the Jungle.
Littler’s Views on Reality TV
Despite their playful banter, Littler made it clear that he has no intention of participating in reality shows like “I’m A Celeb.” He admitted that the challenges posed by the show would be too daunting for him.
“I’d said I would for the right money, but I’ve been watching it now, and no way,” Littler remarked, highlighting the challenges of being so far from home and dealing with the show’s unusual tasks.
This entertaining episode at the World Darts Championship not only showcased Littler’s talent but also illustrated the bond between him and Angry Ginge, despite their temporary separation.
