Eloise Milburn was caught on camera crying after losing to boyfriend Luke Littler in the World Darts Championship final on Wednesday night.

The 16-year-old enjoyed a stellar tournament at the Alexandra Palace but, in the end, was unable to clinch the top prize.


Instead Luke Humphries came out supreme, with the 28-year-old winning the title for the seventh time at the asking.

It was a sensational night for both the players as well as the fans in attendance.

But it was an emotional rollercoaster for Milburn, who encouraged her boyfriend from the sidelines.

Sky Sports footage showed the 21-year-old player crying after the result.

The photographs also show that Milburn appeared stressed as she watched the action take place.

News of the pair’s relationship surfaced earlier this week, with the pair reportedly meeting while playing FIFA on Xbox.

The pair are believed to live 200 miles apart from each other.

Yet he has a keen interest in darts, with Milburn himself an amateur player.

She currently plays at Walton Working Men’s Club which is close to her home, while she also represents the Surrey women’s darts team.

A source told the Daily Mail earlier this week: “Eloise loves darts and playing FIFA and Luke does the same and they have a lot in common.

“They started speaking on Xbox and things evolved from there.

“She’s a great girl and a very good darts and FIFA player, so you could say they’re a perfect couple because Luke is also very passionate about both things.

“She is very proud of his accomplishments and is supporting him every step of the way.”

However, the relationship has drawn criticism due to the five-year age difference.

But Milburn’s mother Amanda has taken issue with internet trolls and insists her daughter is not in it for Littler’s money.

“There are a lot of horrible things being posted online about my daughter and my husband Phil and I’m very angry about it,” she said.

“Eloise has been accused of all kinds of things and she’s only with Luke because of his money and fame.

“But this is a complete pack of lies and disgusting.

“He is not with her for any of these reasons.

“She doesn’t care about his money or his fame, she’s with him because she likes him. It’s that simple.”

He added: “It’s really sad when we read these comments, many of them from so-called darts fans.

“My daughter is nothing like what these mean people are making up.

“She’s a sweet young girl who is in a new relationship and people should allow her to move on with things.

“Eloise has made it clear that she doesn’t want us to go because she feels that things are still in the early stages between her and Luke.

“They are in a budding relationship, not very serious, although that may come later.

“I’ve asked her for tickets because Phil and I would love to see Luke in action, but Eloise just says: ‘Mum, please, I don’t want you to meet him yet, it’s too early.’

“I’ve never been to the World Darts Championship, and you would have thought that now that my daughter is dating Luke I would get a ticket, but sadly that’s not the case.”
