LUKE LITTLER was left fuming after an over-excited man pushed his MUM during his walk-on.

The incident occurred moments before Littler took on Stephen Bunting in the Premier League of Darts.

The pair were drawn together in the quarter-final of Night 4 in Exeter.

And Bunting walked out first to a great reception from the crowd.

Littler followed soon after as the World Darts champion soaked up the atmosphere.

But the mood quickly turned sour as fans flocked to get a glimpse of him.

Littler’s mum Lisa was in the VIP section as usual to hug her son on his way to the stage.

However, as the pair linked up, Littler’s mum was barged aside by another fan.

It saw the 18-year-old flare up in anger as his intro music continued playing overhead.

And supporters were quick to react to the incident online.

One noted: “Littler quite rightly fuming, someone barging his mum out of the way.”

Another added: “Watch him average 130 now, pure anger.”

Despite the run-in, Littler’s performance was not affected.

He blew Bunting away in a 6-3 win to set up a semi-final against Nathan Aspinall.

And after beating his pal 6-2, Littler went on to the final where he faced Luke Humphries.

‘Cool Hand’ had already blasted his way past Gerwyn Price and Rob Cross.

Littler got off to a fast start in the final, having NEVER lost to Humphries in seven Premier League encounters.

But Humphries stormed back from 3-1 down to win 6-4, and claim his second victory of this year’s tournament.
