Luke Littler humorously mentioned that he might entertain the idea of joining the I’m a Celebrity jungle if a staggering £50 million offer was on the table, despite being deterred by this year’s show. The 18-year-old darts prodigy has been closely following the current season to support his friend, Angry Ginge, whose participation in the ITV program sparked rumors of Littler’s potential involvement.
When asked about the possibility of following in Ginge’s footsteps, Littler responded by stating that he would consider it for the right price. However, he later clarified in an interview with talkSPORT that after witnessing the challenges on the show, he no longer feels inclined to participate, emphasizing his aversion to snakes and similar obstacles.
Although initially dismissing the idea for £10 million, Littler’s stance shifted to a “maybe” when the interviewer proposed a substantial £50 million offer. Despite his playful remark about potentially flying over, he reaffirmed his current commitment to focus on defending his title at the upcoming PDC World Darts Championship, where he aims to replicate his previous success as the reigning world champion and newly crowned world No. 1.
Scheduled to commence his defense against Darius Labanauskas on December 11, Littler aims to emulate Gary Anderson’s achievement by becoming the first player in a decade to retain the prestigious Sid Waddell trophy.
