Luke Littler jokingly mentioned that he might entertain the idea of participating in the I’m a Celebrity jungle if a substantial sum of £50 million was on offer, despite being deterred by this year’s show. The 18-year-old dart prodigy has been closely following the current season of the show to support his friend, Angry Ginge. Speculation arose about Littler potentially joining the show after Angry Ginge’s participation, with Littler indicating his interest hinged on the financial aspect.
When questioned about the possibility of following in Angry Ginge’s footsteps, Littler responded that he might consider it for the right price. However, he later revealed that upon further consideration, the challenges showcased on the program made him reconsider his initial willingness to participate. Despite initially declining a £10 million offer, Littler hinted at a possible change of heart with a tempting £50 million proposal.
In a recent interview with talkSPORT, Littler expressed his reservations about facing the show’s daunting challenges, citing his aversion to snakes and similar obstacles. While contemplating the notion of entering the jungle, he humorously dismissed the idea of actually doing so. Meanwhile, as Angry Ginge prepares for upcoming trials, Littler gears up to defend his title at the PDC World Darts Championship, commencing at Ally Pally next month. Last year, Littler made history as the youngest world darts champion and currently holds the top spot in the sport.
Looking to replicate Gary Anderson’s feat of retaining the Sid Waddell trophy, Littler will commence his defense with a match against Darius Labanauskas on December 11.
