Luke Littler stands on the verge of winning successive World Darts Championship titles after making it through to the final at Alexandra Palace for the third year in a row.
The 18-year-old, who is the current world number one and reigning world champion, has blown away the competition again this year, winning the first three rounds in straight sets before beating Rob Cross, Krzysztof Ratajski and Ryan Searle to set up a meeting with Gian van Veen in Saturday’s grand final.
As he fights to defend his crown against the Dutchman, Littler will be cheered on by one of his biggest supporters, his girlfriend Faith Millar, who is set to return to Ally Pally to watch her partner play for £1 million.
The 19-year-old beautician, who hails from Wigan, has often been seen supporting him at major tournaments since the couple went public with their relationship in May last year, after months of claiming they were just friends.
She was in attendance on Friday night as her boyfriend defeated Searle in the semi-finals, and posed for pictures with famous faces in the crowd, including singer Lewis Capaldi, I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! winner Angry Ginge and Sidemen members Harry Lewis and Ethan Payne.

Millar also shared a kiss with Littler as he took to the stage for the final four clash, in what has become somewhat of a pre-match ritual for the 18-year-old darts sensation.
After going public with their romance, ‘The Nuke’ sang his partner’s praises as she flew Down Under with him to support him at the Australian Darts Masters.
“She’s a lovely lady, Faith,” said Littler. “I think it’s sort of what I needed. I knew my mum and dad weren’t going to come. And as soon as I asked the question, she was like, ‘Yeah, I don’t think I’ll ever get the chance’. So, I said, ‘You can come with me.'”
However, having become one of the most famous faces in sport after a rapid rise to the top of darts’ global order, the teenager admitted that he had to warn Millar about the attention and abuse she would likely receive as his partner.

Admitting that the abuse the couple had received from internet trolls had “been tough”, Littler explained: “Obviously, at the start of last year, I was always looking at the comments. And she’s been having a look [at the] negativity.
“But I just said, ‘They’re jealous. They wanna ruin us.’ I just said, ‘Just don’t look at it and just focus on what we’ve got’.”
Littler has been in a similar position before, as his ex-girlfriend Eloise Milburn was targeted with “vile” and “disgusting” abuse, largely over the fact she was five years older than the then-16-year-old darts ace.

At the time, he pleaded with the trolls to stop, while he was forced to step in again as Milburn was targeted with more abuse following their split in July 2024. That was despite Littler being the one who ended the relationship, doing so via text in what was dubbed a “brutal” decision that reportedly “came out of the blue” to leave his ex devastated.
