EMMA PATON has hit back at Gary Anderson and James Wade after defending Sky Sports’ coverage of Luke Littler. The teen sensation burst onto the scene at last year’s World Darts Championship, going all the way to the final before losing to Luke Humphries.

Despite being just 17-years-old, Littler has since wrapped up several stunning victories including the Premier League. And he kicks off his second Ally Pally campaign tonight in a bid to secure darts’ top prize. However, fellow slingers Anderson and Wade reckon too much media focus has been on Littler.

On previous occasions, they have both expressed concern over how the teen has taken on so much attention – simultaneously drawing the limelight away from world champ Humphries. But Sky Sports ace Paton has fired back at Anderson and Wade in a robust defence of her broadcaster.
The fan favourite hosts live coverage of the WDC on TV. Paton has enjoyed interviews with Littler and Humphries on multiple occasions. And she believes Sky Sports’ coverage of both men has been fair, with both aces achieving so much in the past 12 months.

I can only talk for our Sky coverage. “He’s been a fantastic world champ, and if you speak to people, it’s 50/50 over who their favourite (Luke) is for the World Championship.
