Luke Littler's girlfriend, 21, wipes away tears after World Darts Championship heartbreak

Luke Littler's girlfriend Eloise Milburn looked heartbroken after the 16-year-old darts sensation lost his World Championship final to Luke Humphries.

Despite being 4-2 up after six sets, Littler couldn't secure the win, leaving Eloise, 21, a darts player and fan herself, devastated.

After three weeks of celebrating Littler's impressive run to the final, Eloise was left disappointed when new world No.1 Humphries took advantage of Littler's mistakes. She had previously written: "The dream carries on!" following his 6-2 semi-final win against Rob Cross.
