Man United fan Luke Littler stars alongside Freddie Flintoff in Christmas special of hit game show Bullseye
Darts icon Luke Littler has taken the sport by storm this year, winning 10 titles in a stunning few months. He will return to the famous Alexandra Palace after Christmas with hopes of improving on his final defeat in the PDC World Darts Championships last year.
Littler, who is from Warrington, will also be on our screens over Christmas in a special remake of a hit 1980s game show. ‘Bullseye’ was hugely popular for many years as contestants played darts games for money and prizes.

As in the original series, a professional player would join the contestants and in this special, Flintoff went head to head with one of the best in the business.
Luke Littler threw darts to help the winning pair walk away with some of the prizes from Bully's prize board. Both he and Flintoff went around the clock on the dartboard to seal prizes for the contestants and money for their chosen charity.
Littler was just as impressive on the more relaxed stage of ‘Bullseye’ as he has been on major tournament events throughout the year. The 17-year-old Utd fan had some good banter with Flintoff and the contestants.
