Luke Littler highlighted how he is keen to purchase a Mercedes A-Class on the back of his World Darts Championship win - despite not yet knowing how to drive. Littler is still 17, 18 later this month, and became the youngest-ever winner of the World Darts Championship last week when he beat Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in the final at Alexandra Palace.

Already winning over £1million in his career, the teenager is, some may say, rolling in it. But he can't take it all home - having to pay tax on all of his winnings through darts. Littler's career winnings before the worlds stand at £1,013,500, with more added on after he pocketed the £500,000 prize fund for winning the Worlds over the Christmas period.

But much of that he will never see. That's because the teenage sensation has paid income tax on all his winnings, and will have to do so again on the back of his latest win. According to Sky, Littler has coughed up a £369, 384 tax bill for the 2024 calendar year after earning £811,000 - and there's more to come.
