He's already one of the sporting success stories of 2024 - and teenage darts sensation Luke Littler will return to action this evening after his fairytale run to the final of the World Darts Championship.

He ultimately came unstuck against Luke Humphries in the final but has established himself as one of the sport's household names and become an overnight superstar.

Now, he returns to action at the Bahrain Masters alongside a host of other household names in a bid to land the first TV title since the World Championship.
