DARTS world champion Luke Littler has been accused of cheating - after narrowly beating a YouTuber opponent. The 18-year-old faced off against social media star and friend Angry Ginge on a live stream on Friday night. Littler clinched the world title last month after beating Michael van Gerwen 7-4 at Ally Pally. But he was pushed all the way by Angry Ginge as the pair did battle in his bedroom. The Twitch streamer, who regularly teams up with Littler for online collaborations, won the MODUS Super Series Influencer Darts last year.

And he proved he was no slouch at the Oche as he held his own against The Nuke in a five-leg contest. With the scores level at 2-2, the pair headed into a deciding leg with Angry Ginge reaching a finish first. He hit treble 17 to set up a match dart against the world champion. The incredulous streamer - real name Morgan Burtwistle - gasped: "I've got a match dart to beat you here. He nervously added: "Let's just f***ing chill out a minute here.
