World champion Luke Littler recently shared a disturbing experience after being pursued by a photographer on the motorway just two days post his driving test. The 18-year-old darts player passed his driving test on his first attempt without any minor faults.
Incident Details
On a Wednesday afternoon, Littler was on his way to visit his girlfriend, Faith, when he noticed he was being followed. He recounted, “I made, like, the latest exit that you could possibly do on a motorway.” Despite his efforts to lose the photographer by taking unexpected exits and making several U-turns, the photographer continued to pursue him.
Shaking with Nerves
Littler described the experience as nerve-wracking, stating he was left “shaking with nerves.” This pursuit took place shortly after he achieved a significant milestone in his career, becoming the youngest winner of the PDC World Championship at age 17.
Response to the Pursuit
Following the unsettling experience, Littler took to social media. He shared a picture of his car in hopes of preventing the photographer from selling any pictures taken during the chase. “I know it’s the job, but following me on the motorway – it’s dead busy,” he explained. “I was nervous and stuff.” This proactive measure was meant to discourage the photographer from profiting off his images.
