Luke Littler reveals shock side hustle as he sells off items ahead of new season

World champion darts prodigy Luke Littler needed the help of girlfriend Faith Millar as he laid bare a surprise side hustle before jetting off to the Middle East

Luke Littler has laid bare a surprising side hustle on the eve of the new darts season – not that the darts prodigy is short of a bob or two.

Littler, 18, will be toeing the oche for the first time since his Paddy Power PDC World Darts Championship win over Gian van Veen earlier this month at the Bahrain Darts Masters on Thursday. And ahead of boarding a flight to the Middle East, Littler has been busy – as if signing an estimated £20m, 10-year sponsorship deal with darts supplier Target Darts wasn’t enough.

Sharing a huge bundle of cards on his Instagram story, the Nuke said: “As people know I have been listing cards on eBay. First cards are the Premier League cards from the hobby boxes, got memorabilia cards and auto cards.

“I go away tomorrow to start the 2026 world series campaign so will be listing cards for a few hours and sending them in post boxes or InPost lockers whichever you choose.”

He followed up his original post with his ‘lukethenuke180’ eBay username before a final update showing lots of items ready for postage with the caption “And that’s a wrap.”

Littler was assisted by girlfriend Faith Millar, who shared behind the scenes snaps on her story of the World Champion sat crossed leg on his floor wrapping up the cards. She joked: “Well that was a mission..”

Littler made history last week as he signed the new long-term, multi-million-pound contract with Target Darts, which is the largest agreement in darts history between a brand and a player.

Reflecting on the deal, Littler said: “Target has believed in me from day one and I’m delighted that there are many more years to come.

“From my playing career to my product range, we’ve built everything together and I’m really excited to commit to our partnership long-term and see where we can take this next.”

Littler is back in action on Thursday alongside other PDC giants such as Luke Humphries and Michael van Gerwen as they clash with Asian representatives for the first World Series of Darts event of the season.
