Luke Littler fires brutal four-word dig at World Cup of Darts winner who taunted him as The Nuke continues to hit back
LUKE LITTLER has continued to hit back at those who criticise his World Cup of Darts flop.
The reigning world darts champion and world No.1 Luke Humphries bombed out of the team tournament this month – they lost to Germany in round two – despite the England pair being title favourites.

Dennis Priestley, a two-time world champion, claimed the pair 'let their country down' and said they did not deserve their MBE status as they were too young.
Northern Ireland thrower Neil Duff, the WDF world champion in 2022, followed up that criticism by writing online in a sarcastic tone: 'How's England doing?'
His home country, led by Josh Rock and Daryl Gurney, ended up winning the trophy in Frankfurt.
These latest comments riled Littler, 18, who responded on his Instagram Story with the caption 'How's Neil Duff doing?' followed with a smiley face emoji.
The post, which was available to up to TWO MILLION accounts, used an image of Duff losing 4-1 to Martin Thomas in the MODUS Super Series darts event on Saturday night.
Littler also posted a social media message that screamed: Thomas sends Duff packing!
The Nuke, the world No.2, is flying to New York this week as he takes part in the two-day US Darts Masters, which starts on Friday at The Theater at Madison Square Garden.
Humphries also took to social media to criticise Priestley's take.
