Luke Littler’s new female ‘friend’ was seen cheering on the darts sensation at the O2 Arena, as he narrowly missed out on a stunning £275,000 prize pot. 

Littler fell to a narrow defeat against rival Luke Humphries in the final night of Premier League Darts on Thursday – with the latter clinching the final match 11-8. 

It marked a reverse outcome from when the two darts stars met in the same event last year, where Littler announced his arrival onto the scene in stunning fashion. 

It wasn’t to be this time round for Littler, who was supported by his parents and new female ‘friend’ Faith Millar at the O2 Arena. 

The trio were spotted on Sky Sports’ broadcast during the event – with Millar looking particularly focused as Littler battled to get back into the match. 

It comes shortly after Littler swapped his darts for drinks as he hit the town with his new female friend and pals at the weekend.

The darts dynamo shared a picture of the group at a table full of beverages in a pink-lit booth in a mystery location, his arm draped around the young lady. 

It comes after the 18-year-old went public with his ‘fun-loving’ beautician ‘friend’ Faith Millar earlier this month. 

‘The Nuke’ shared a snap of them cosying up on a seat in a back garden. 

Mail Sport revealed that Littler, nicknamed The Nuke, met Faith Millar in February and that the pair were understood to have become almost inseparable since. 

However, both have been keen to play down the significance of their friendship – insisting emphatically that they are not dating or in a relationship.

Millar, 19, comes from Wigan, just 15 miles from Luke’s home in Warrington, Cheshire.

She has already accompanied the PDC World Champion to public events including a Q&A session organised by his darts sponsors BoohooMan in Manchester in March.

Eyelash beauty specialist Millar is also believed to have already met Littler’s parents while visiting the 18-year-old at his mansion.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Faith and Luke have become firm friends and enjoy one another’s company a lot.’

The blossoming friendship comes nine months after the world number two split from his previous girlfriend 22-year-old Eloise Milburn last June.

At 19, Millar is closer to Luke’s own age than Milburn, who was in her twenties when she began dating him while he was just 17 – which saw her face hostility from some online fans, something known to upset both her and Luke.

Littler has since been much more guarded about making his love life a public spectacle than he was when he very publicly dated Milburn at the same time as he was becoming a public figure thanks to his darts heroics at Ally Pally in December 2023.
