LUKE LITTLER has finally got his wish after making a cheeky dig at David Beckham. The darts sensation is a massive fan of the Manchester United legend and was sent a good luck text by him ahead of BBC Sports Personality of the Year. Littler, 17, finished as the runner-up to Olympic hero Keely Hodgkinson in the race for the award.

While being interviewed by Gabby Logan, he admitted one of the biggest "pinch me" moments was being texted by Becks. However, he did fire a cheeky dig at the former England captain by saying he was not yet followed by him on social media. But now, Littler has revealed that his wish has come true.

He shared a screenshot of his followers list on Instagram and showed that Beckham had started following him on the platform. He accompanied the snap with a heart-eyed and hailing hand emoji. Littler did not leave SPOTY empty-handed as he was named the BBC's Young Sports Personality of the Year.
