Even if you're not a fan of darts it's been pretty much impossible not to have heard of the meteoric rise of Luke Littler.
The 16-year-old is the boy-wonder of darts and has made it through to the semi-finals of the World Darts Championship after a 5-1 victory over Brendan Dolan.
He put on a confident display during his victory, at one point turning to ask the crowd if he should go for a 170 checkout before showing off his skills.

Along the way he's also defeated five-time world champion Raymond van Barneveld, who was a hero of Littler's growing up, as the young darts prodigy said when he was 18 months old he used to dance to the darts legend's music.
After beating Dolan and booking his semi-final place, Littler is now favourite to go on and win the whole thing.
His next match will be against Rob Cross tonight (2 January) at 7:30pm UK time and Littler is hoping to match his opponent's achievement of winning the thing on his debut.

Even if he doesn't win he'll have earned himself a hefty prize, bagging £100,000 for making it to the semis.
A win against Cross to make it to the finals will see Littler double his money and earn £200,000, and if he wins the whole thing that'll be £500,000.
As for what he might spend his winnings on, some of the prize money might go towards treating his girlfriend Eloise, who Littler was seen celebrating with after his quarter-final victory.
According to the Daily Mail she's a 21-year-old beauty consultant as well as being a keen darts player herself, and she's been supporting him throughout the World Darts Championship.

After his victory in the quarter-finals she posted a message to Instagram saying that 'the dream carries on' and she was 'incredibly proud' of Littler.
She's not the only one who wants to be there to support Littler in his semi-final, as Littler's parents told the Daily Telegraph they'd be travelling down to support their son if they could get the time off work.
They explained that Littler inherited his talent for darts from his grandad, and started playing when he was a two-year-old.

Littler's dad Phil explained that when the darts prodigy was four he was already playing on a proper board, though he did need to get up on a stool to get his darts back out of the board.
Now everyone's waiting to see what the wonderkid does next.
