WORLD SERIES DARTS COMES TO ITVX, WITH LUKE LITTLER MAKING FREE-TO-AIR DEBUT

Luke 'the Nuke' Littler, the teenage darts sensation and breakout star from the recent PDC World Darts Championship, in which he won hearts across the country as the runner-up, can be seen live in action on free to air television next week on ITVX.

Luke, aged only 16, has been announced as one of the competitors in the Bahrain World Series of Darts, which will be shown live on ITVX on 18 and 19 January.

And ITV viewers will have another opportunity to see him compete when he features in the Dutch Masters event on 26 and 27 January, which will be shown on ITV4.

These events will be the first opportunity for the wider viewing public to see Luke live in action on free to air television, with previous tournaments being broadcast on pay TV.
