Littler is a major coup for producers with his journey to the as a 16-year-old capturing the hearts of the nation earlier this year. Now 17, he has since won and lifted an array of other titles in a remarkable breakthrough year.
According to , Littler has agreed to be the darts star for the Bullseye reboot, with the show set to air at Christmas.
A source allegedly told the newspaper: "Luke wasn't even born when Bullseye was on our screens with original host, Jim Bowen. But Luke knows this is a plum role to have landed.
"As he steps up to the Bullseye oche he knows he's following in the footsteps of legends including Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson who all threw darts on the programme in its 1980s heyday.
"It's also a coup for the makers of the new Bullseye as Luke is now one of Britain's best-known players."

Flintoff said after the Bullseye revival was announced: "Bullseye was one of my favourite shows as a kid. I can't quite believe I'll get to host this."

"It looks that way for Luke [getting distracted by things away from the oche like video games]. He's not that good to be able to take things for granted," Priestley told BoyleSports.
"The more times he keeps getting beat, the more it's going to affect his confidence. He needs to inherit the aura about him like Phil Taylor had."
