- Luke Littler joined Rob & Romesh vs Darts to play a darts game vs the comedians

Comedic duo Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan met Luke Littler before the 2025 World Darts Championship, and played a leg against the 17-year-old star.
Sky announced that Rob & Romesh Vs Darts will return to screens on New Years Eve, with the world number four joining the show for a special episode.
Rob and Romesh challenged the Nuke to a leg of darts where they needed just 2 to win, while Littler faced a standard 501, giving them a 499 head start.
Just like a proper leg of darts, the pair had to finish on a double, meaning they were aiming for a double 1.
Littler scored a ton with his first three darts, before Rob stepped up to the line to register a no score.
His first dart missed the board completely, while his second landed in the single 4 segment.

It was all smiles between everyone, as Littler laughed and shared a hug with the comedian
Littler then scored 25, as Romesh followed up with another no score. The young star capped his performance off with a 96, before Rob landed a double 1 to win the game.
‘I’ve just beaten Luke Littler!’ he exclaimed three times with his arms in the air.
The Warrington lad went over to congratulate Rob. ‘Well played mate,’ he laughed, as they shared an embrace.
Littler is seeking redemption in this year’s competition after his heroic debut in 2024, when he defeated by Luke Humphries in the final.
His arch rival crashed out of the Alexandra Palace tournament on Sunday night by a teary two-time champ in Peter Wright.
Humphries was swept aside 4-1 by the impressive Wright, the mohawked 54-year-old Scot, who overcame a chest infection to secure a 100-plus average with a 70 per cent checkout percentage.
Humphries’ exit eradicates what had been billed as a highly-anticipated semi-final showdown with Littler, who must see off Ryan Joyce tonight to reach the quarters himself.
Littler may now see his side of the draw opening up for him as he bids to become the youngest world champion in history.
