‘A strange relationship with myself’ – Luke Humphries opens up about on-stage antics after Littler win

LUKE HUMPHRIES has opened up about his bonkers on-stage antics during his topsy-turvy Premier League win in Exeter.

Humphries was quite the entertainer and showed unpredictable waves of emotion throughout Night 4 in the Westpoint Arena.

Cool Hand picked up his second win of the 2025 campaign with a dramatic 6-4 victory over Luke Littler on Thursday.

It was his first-ever league win over the 18-year-old in EIGHT attempts.

As-ever, good pals Humphries and Littler laughed and joked about it all.

But Humphries – who looked shaky at times in the West Country – was keen to ruffle some feathers from the off-set.

The world No1 sarcastically gestured to the BOARD against Gerwyn Price in his opening match and looked fuming with himself against Rob Cross in the semis.

Humphries revealed: “You’ll see me on the stage, and one minute I’m furious with myself, the next I’m happy.

“It’s a strange relationship with myself, on stage. Sometimes I enjoy it, sometimes I hate it.”

Humphries missed several several match darts before finally taking the win during his opening match against Price.

With Price – who was way off it as well – celebrating each winning leg, Humphries matched his whackyenergy.

After the 30-year-old missed D18 in three attempts, he sarcastically threw his thumb up to the darts board.

But minutes later, Humphries let out screams of “boom, boom, boom” at the crowd after finally ending a crazy error-ridden match against Price.

The thrilling moment was cheered by fans inside the arena.

And those watching at home were equally entertained.

One said: “What on earth was that last leg?”

There were more unforced errors during the semi-final win against Cross, while Littler looked as if he was going to cruise to victory after the teen raced to a 3-1 lead in the final.

But the 2024 world champion proved why he is still the world No1 by winning the final three legs to grab the win.

He added: “I wasn’t at my best tonight. There were moments when I felt like I was giving legs away.

“It (the antics) doesn’t effect my performance, which is the most important thing.

“If I did these things and it affected the way I play, then of course, I’d have to change it. But it doesn’t affect me.

“Sometimes it’s a love-hate relationship with darts. But tonight, I loved it in the end.”

The evening started in controversy though after Littler was involved in an angry altercation with a fan.

The teen was about to hug mum Lisa when she was barged out of the way by an over-eager supporter.

Littler had already beaten Humphries 6-5 in Edinburgh on Night 2.

Humphries win on Night 4 puts him top of the Premier League table, with Littler second after reaching the final.
