MODEST Luke Littler will splash out some of his £1.5million winnings on a basic Mercedes-Benz car – which he cannot drive yet. The exciting teenager reached a career pinnacle when he humbled Michael van Gerwen 7-3 to become the youngest world darts champion ever.

The Nuke, 17, receives a whopping £500,000 for winning six games but he has become a multi-millionaire within 14 months when prize money and sponsors deals are factored in. Other youngsters would eye up a flash Ferrari or Lamborghini if they were in the same position.

But ahead of his 18th birthday on January 21, Littler would prefer a nice Mercedes motor, with the cheapest A-Class going for about £30,000. That is despite the fact he has yet to take any driving lessons – and can you imagine what the insurance will cost?!.

Littler, who hails from Warrington, said: “I’ve always loved a Mercedes A-Class. “Just a small car. Last year I was looking at driving and I loved Ford Focuses. “But now, I’ve gone up in the world just a little!. “What model? No idea. Just an A-Class. I don’t know the different models.
