Luke Littler hilariously trolls HIMSELF in front of family before going in for a hug after reaching PDC Worlds last 16
LUKE LITTLER hilariously trolled himself by pretending to cry in front of his family after reaching the last 16 of the World Darts Championship.
The 17-year-old whiz booked his place in the next stage with a 4-1 win over veteran Ian White at Ally Pally.
Littler got over a slow start to smash home TWELVE 180s and clinch victory with a 97.84 average.
He will now face Ryan Joyce on Monday for a place in the WDC quarters.
But after securing his win last night, Littler immediately trolled himself over a previous moment at the tournament.
A week earlier, the teen endured a tough second round battle against Ryan Meikle.
Littler survived a scare to win the match 3-1.
And afterwards he broke down in tears on stage before going to his parents for an emotional hug.
But this time, there were no tears shed by Littler.
And he hilariously trolled himself by pretending to cry as he walked off the stage towards his family.

Littler cracked a wry smile as he brought his hands to his face in mock tears.
But he made sure he got another hug off his mum and dad, who had watched the match proudly from the stands.

Speaking after the win against White, Littler said: “It was tough. Ian threw everything at me. If I hit a 180, he would hit back with one, too. I had to stay switched on.
“I didn’t have nerves. I had to settle in quickly. The first set was okay. The second set after the first break, I was up for it.
“At 3-1, the 70 was massive. I don’t think double ten or double 20 like me – and I don’t like them.
“The crowd were good for me and Ian. If they chant Ian White’s name, I will hit a 180.
“I watched Ryan Joyce’s game. He was very good. I know I have got to hit those doubles, 35 per cent tonight won’t get me anywhere. I need to get those doubles.”
