09/12/2025 By Phil Lanning

LUKE LITTLER admits he can “smash up” his Xbox controller if things don’t go to plan on FIFA!

The teen sensation begins his bid to retain the World Championship at the Ally Pally on Thursday night. 

‘The Nuke’ is usually super-cool on stage but has opened up on the fact that he can get angry while playing his favourite video game.

In a Q&A with YouTube host JaackMaate, when asked what people didn’t know about him, he revealed: “Well they’re gonna find out, I break a few Xbox controllers now and again on FIFA. 

“Not rage quit. I just smash it up and then I get disconnected because of inactivity.” 

Littler, 18, also revealed that he admires another walk-on theme. 

When asked what he’d choose if he had to swap his ‘Greenlight’ by Pitbull anthem, he added: “I’ll say Michael Van Gerwen’s Seven Nation Army.”

Littler was also quick to answer on which darts player he’d choose to protect him: “Boris Krcmar.”

He was also asked who his best mate is on the circuit. He added: “There’s a few but I’d say Nathan Aspinall.”

JaackMaate joked not Ricardo Pietreczko (who he’s had two stage verbals with). Littler answered: “No!”

He was also questioned on which player is best to have a night out with, he added: “I’ve not been but I’d say Nathan Aspinall.”

‘The Nuke’ also was quick to choose on the most intelligent player to have in a pub quiz team, he said: “I’d have to say someone like Andrew Gilding. He’s smart.”

If he wasn’t playing darts, what would he be doing. He continued: “Trying to get into rugby, boxing.”

And finally what he wanted for Christmas. He just looked at the World Championship trophy and said: “This.”
