Darts prodigy Luke Littler has been shortlisted for the BBC’s Young Sports Personality of the Year award.
The 17-year-old caused a sensation when he became the youngest player to reach the final of the PDC World Championship in January, where he lost 7-4 to Luke Humphries.
He has since become the sport’s Premier League champion and his victory at the prestigious Grand Slam of Darts made him just the fourth player in history to win 10 trophies in one season.
