Luke Littler jets off to Spanish beach to celebrate World Darts Championship victory - just days after 17-year-old won £500,000 prize
- Littler made history as he beat Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in Friday night's final
- He has now headed off to Spain to celebrate his World Championship victory
Luke Littler has jetted off to Spain to celebrate his recent World Darts Championship victory.
The 17-year-old is still settling into life as the champion of the world on the back of his 7-3 victory over Michael ven Gerwen at Ally Pally last Friday and is enjoying some time off ahead of the Bahrain Darts Masters.
Despite being hit by a massive tax bill on his £500,000 prize money, the teenager has still got enough to treat himself to Alicante in Spain to soak up some winter sun.
On Thursday, the 'Nuke' took to Instagram to share a brief video of an empty beach with his 1.8 million followers.
In the short clip, the world champion strolled along the Playa del Albir promenade with the view of the beach, blue sky and sea in the background. It's unclear who Littler is on holiday with.
Littler recently highlighted how he is keen to purchase a Mercedes A-Class on the back of his World Darts Championship win - despite not yet knowing how to drive.

Littler defeated Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in a dominant final at Alexandra Palace on Friday
Littler is still 17, 18 later this month, and became the youngest-ever winner of the World Darts Championship when he beat Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in the final at Alexandra Palace.
Already winning over £1million in his career, the teenager is, some may say, rolling in it. But he can't take it all home - having to pay tax on all of his winnings through darts.
Littler's career winnings before the worlds stand at £1,013,500, with more added on after he pocketed the £500,000 prize fund for winning the Worlds over the Christmas period.
But much of that he will never see. That's because the teenage sensation has paid income tax on all his winnings, and will have to do so again on the back of his latest win.
According to Sky, Littler has coughed up a £369, 384 tax bill for the 2024 calendar year after earning £811,000 - and there's more to come.
He reportedly won £202,500 in prize money in 2023, meaning he will have paid £452,772 in income tax already - and he's not even yet an adult.
The £500,000 was paid in 2025, meaning he will be set for another hefty bill soon.

That's only taking prize money into consideration, too. Littler has a number of sponsorship deals, including a partnership with Target Darts, which is thought to be worth millions.
Luke Littler's spot in the 2025 Premier League Darts line-up has been confirmed, with all eight names announced on Monday afternoon.
Last season, in his first year on the Pro Tour, Littler won the Premier League, which his participation was confirmed in just days after he had finished runner-up to Luke Humphries in the World Championship.
