Darts prodigy, 8, who beat Luke Littler gives adorable BBC interview and jokes he won’t let mum retire if he reaches top
AN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD darts prodigy lived his dream on Saturday as he beat Premier League champion Luke Littler.
The youngster, called Noah, hilariously revealed in an adorable interview that he will not let his mum, Helen, retire if he becomes a star in the sport.
Northampton-based Noah took to the stage against Littler, 17, and completed a 90 checkout to beat the world championship runner-up at the Summer Showdown darts exhibition in Cardiff.
Despite having begun his journey in the sport just two years ago, the boy wonder already has aspirations of making it at the top level.
And he detailed those goals in a wonderful interview alongside Helen on BBC Breakfast.
Noah was asked what his dream is, to which he replied: “To become a professional darts player.”
He was then quizzed on whether he would buy his mum anything if he was to make a lot of money.
Helen responded: “That would be nice,” before Noah added a hysterical comment.
He simply said: “But I won’t let her retire.”
Helen, whose son Noah trains for 16 hours a week, opened up in more detail about the incredible experience with Littler.
