Luke Littler jokingly mentioned that he might consider participating in the I’m a Celebrity jungle if a substantial sum of £50 million was offered, despite being put off by watching the show this year.
The 18-year-old darts star has been closely following this season’s show to support his friend, Angry Ginge, whose appearance on the ITV program sparked speculation about Littler joining. Referring to the possibility, Littler expressed openness, stating he might consider it for the right price.
In a recent talkSPORT interview, Littler revealed that after witnessing the challenges on the show, he now feels hesitant about joining Ant and Dec in the jungle. He humorously mentioned that the idea of facing snakes and challenges like those on the show made him reconsider.
When asked if he would change his mind for £10 million, Littler declined, but when the interviewer proposed an eye-catching £50 million, he jokingly responded with a “maybe.” Despite the financial temptation, Littler humorously dismissed the idea of actually taking the leap.
While Angry Ginge prepares for his next bushtucker trial, Littler gears up to defend his title at the upcoming PDC World Darts Championship at Ally Pally next month. The reigning world champion, who secured the title last year as the youngest in darts history, is set to defend his crown and strive to maintain his newly acquired world No. 1 status.
Littler aims to follow in the footsteps of Gary Anderson by attempting to retain the Sid Waddell trophy, starting his defense with a first-round match against Darius Labanauskas on December 11.
