Luke Littler left fuming by 'scum of the earth' while playing darts exhibition
Luke Littler was livid after his team's van was trashed by vandals during an exhibition in Norwich. The reigning world champ was joined by darts legends Phil Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld for the MODUS Icons of Darts night out in Norfolk. The Nuke made headlines, beating Luke Humphries in the final to add another chapter to their burgeoning rivalry. Post-match, Littler was left gutted as he found the back window of his Mercedes van smashed in. Taking to Instagram, he shared a snap of the damage with his followers. Littler didn't mince words in his caption: "Just trying to do an exhibition in Norwich and this happens, absolute scum of the earth." The vandalism happened on the closing day of Epic Studios' MODUS event, set in the heart of Norwich city. The organisation is known for throwing non-PDC dart events that feature today's heavy-hitters, online sensations, and blasts from the past, reports the Express. Littler triumphed over Humphries not long before news dropped that they'd be teaming up for next month's World Cup of Darts. Touted as heavy favourites, they're poised to scoop the prize in Frankfurt owing to their recent reign over the sport. Earlier in the week, Humphries backed their all-star duo to deliver the goods at the cup, with Cool Hand claiming it'll take something special for any competitors to take them down. "I think everybody is expecting us to win it and no one's going to touch us," he shared with the Weekly Dartscast. "There are some great teams in there, the likes of Gezzy [Price] and Jonny [Clayton] are a potential banana skin. "Gian van Veen is playing really well. Him and Danny [Noppert], if they get going, that's a tough team. Gary [Anderson] and Peter [Wright], Peter's playing better again now. "These are all potential banana skins, but if me and Luke gel and everything goes well, it's going to be an incredibly tough performance to beat us both."
