Good Morning Britain's Adil Ray has sparked outrage for 'fat-shaming' Luke Littler live on the show as livid viewers vowed to call Ofcom and demanded an apology. On Thursday, hosts Adil Ray, 50, and Kate Garraway, 57, were discussing 17-year-old dart sensation Luke Littler's victory against Nathan Aspinal in the World Darts Championship.
Littler pocketed £100,00 after thrashing his 33-year-old rival 5-1 at Alexandra Palace and remains in the running for the £500,000 prize money as he progresses to the semi-finals. It comes after the darts prodigy was named as the BBC's Young Sports Personality of the Year on December 17.
Despite his fantastic achievements, Adil felt it necessary to express his 'worry' for the teenager's health. Turning to Kate, he said: 'I have to say and this might not be very popular, I'm a little bit worried about Luke. He's 17 and he's turning into the look of a darts player.

Like most youngsters, Luke has previously said that he loves eat treats such as pizza, kebabs and Swizzels Squashies sweets before a match.
