The 17-year-old sensation won the Euro Tour tournaments in the Belgium and Austria earlier this year.

But he chose not participate in the tournaments in Rosmalen, Netherlands and Leverkusen, Germany.

It comes after having his unbeaten run of 15 matches snapped by World No.70 Maik Kuivenhoven.

Michael van Gerwen – who Littler beat in the World Series semis – went on to win in Wigan by beating Dave Chisnall 8-7 in the final.

Now the Hungarian capital hosts the 11th Euro Tour tournament of this season.

It is part of a heavy fixture schedule to come for Littler & Co.

On September 24-25 and October 1-3, Players Championship tournaments will be played again.

In between that, the Swiss Darts Trophy will take place in Basel.

Inside Littler's massive rise

LUKE LITTLER has taken the darts world by storm since exploding onto the scene at the PDC World Championship at the beginning of the year.

The Nuke reached the final on his Ally Pally debut at just 16 years of age – smashing records along the way.

He has then gone on to win a host of PDC events and the Premier League title – which he claimed at the O2 Arena by beating world champion Luke Humphries in May.

He also finished his first season in the World Series as the No1 ranked player.

He has joined Jude Bellingham on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list.

And the teenage titan even had to snub an invite from the WWE.

The Sun exclusively revealed that Littler is plotting to create a fitness empire.

He is also cashing in away from the Oche thanks to an Instagram side hustle.

And he’s even the face of a brand new cereal.

But he is newly single after splitting from girlfriend Eloise Milburn following a 10-month relationship.

Check out all of our latest Luke Littler stories.

Then, from October 7 to 13, the World Grand Prix will be played, where Littler looks to try to win his first ranking major.

I’m a single mum & I’ll charge my kids rent even if they’re on Universal Credit, they’re not being lazy on my watch

A SINGLE mum says she’d charge her kids rent even if they were on Universal Credit – because youngsters these days don’t know responsibility.

Lynne Cavanagh, 43, shared her views on TikTok after growing tired of parents mollycoddling their adult children.

The mum thinks people should pay their way.

She admitted she was part of the problem as she also spoils her three offspring and knows they’re not as mature as she was at their age.

Lynne said: “When I was 21, I was married.

“By the time I was 25, I was married,  had two kids, a mortgage for a long time, a job, my husband had a job, we had responsibility and life skills.

“And from a very young age, I had to pay dig money, and I mean even when I had a low wage, I still had to pay dig money.

“My mum made me pay in endowments, credit unions, learn money, which at the time I hated because I was always skint, but it teaches you values and responsibility.

“I’ll always charge my kids dig money, I don’t even care if they’re on Universal Credit or anything, they will be paying because they’ll get their lazy arse up and get themselves a job if they want money.

“I just think nowadays, adults are kids. Like, as I said at 21 I had full blown responsibility.

“My kids at 21 only care about what they’re wearing at the weekend.

“I do think I’m part of the problem and it needs to stop. I think it’s about time we got tough and showed the kids what life is.”

And those in the comments were in complete agreement with Lynn’s assessment.

One person said: “I took dig money off my daughter, saved it up and when she bought her house she was given it to do a new kitchen. I believe in life you have to pay bills.”

Another wrote: “100 percent, guilty of it myself, my dad had money but I had to work on the ice cream van from 14 to earn money to get the stuff I wanted when I was younger.”

A third follower added: “Totally agree with you.

“I started work at 15 and had two jobs and my first wage was under a fiver.

“Yes they should pay their way all the way.”

Painter and decorator Ross then shared that he was actually a father to a three-year-old daughter.

His confession was met with a warm response from his new wife, who said it was “cute”.

She later shared: “I just love dad’s and their daughters, maybe because I’m so close to my dad and I’m a daddies girl.”

Sacha then revealed: “I’ve got two kids as well, I’ve got a boy and a girl…”

But before Ross could share his excitement, the Brummie confessed she was actually a mum to two CATS.

While taking their wedding snaps, Sacha admitted she was “nervous” to share a bedroom with Ross, 32.

“We’ve got to get to know each other, which is scary and then we’ve got to be in the hotel room later which will be awkward.”

Sacha, who has been celibate for over a year, told the camera: “It’s a big thing to say I’m not sleeping with anyone, I feel a bit awkward around him because I don’t know him.”

While a delighted Ross said to the camera: “She’s ticking all the bosses – eyes, smile. It’s like a dream come true.”

Sacha lives with her two cats Olive and Diego – and they always come first. 

She’s a kickboxer and has been starring in beauty pageants since she was six. Sacha was even named Miss Birmingham in 2018. 

Before her big day, she said: “A red flag to me is someone not liking cats. I was always told never to trust a man that doesn’t like cats.”

While Ross was born deaf and wears two hearing aids. He previously played for Everton deaf football club and was scouted for Team GB trials at 17. 

After making the squad Ross played all over the world before giving it up two years ago to be close to his daughter. 

Ross said: “I’ve been engaged before and this is my third time lucky. I’m looking forward to meeting my wife. I’m ready for this.” 

So far Kristina and Kieran, Caspar and Emma, Nathan and Lacey and Charlie and Eve have all said ‘I do’.

But it’s not been plain sailing for some couples, with Charlie and Eve clashing repeatedly on their honeymoon.

While fans have begged bosses to axe head gardener Caspar after his savage putdown to wife Emma.
