Luke Littler to Star in ITV's Bullseye

Seventeen-year-old darts prodigy Luke Littler has announced his appearance as a special guest on the Christmas special of the iconic game show Bullseye, hosted by Freddie Flintoff on ITV. Littler's rise to fame, particularly after reaching the final of the PDC World Championship in January, has prompted ITV to revive the show, which originally aired from 1981 to 1995. Despite being too young to have seen the original, Littler is enthusiastic about following in the footsteps of darts legends like Eric Bristow. The show aims to capitalize on the renewed interest in darts, partly driven by Littler's recent successes, including wins at the World Series finals and the Players Championship. Additionally, he is set to feature prominently in a new Sky documentary series about darts, highlighting his growing influence in the sport. This Christmas special is expected to attract significant viewership, as Flintoff expresses excitement about hosting one of his childhood favorites.
