LUKE LITTLER says that furious top oche stars have to IGNORE the whistles.
The world champion won the Premier League night two at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow as a row erupted over fan behaviour.
Littler, 18, and World No.1 Luke Humphries had their final clash almost ruined by the crowd trying to put them off at vital moments.
When referee Kirk Bevins stepped in to tell the moron minority to stop whistling, it then disrupted The Nuke’s throw.
But Littler remained calm during the storm to pick up the £10k prize for his first win since taking the world crown.
When asked about the whistling, he responded: “Obviously, there were a few in particular that were doing it when Luke was throwing.
“Then when Kirk told them to be quiet, it got even worse. And then I missed doubles.
“Luke breaks at 5-4 and I am just like: ‘Kirk, you have made it worse for me’. I’m 5-4 down. But, no, I broke back and held my throw quite strongly.
“But I think it’s best off if they don’t whistle at us. We just want to play our darts.”
Darts bosses, meanwhile, have condemned the whistling that marred the competition and vowed to stamp out any future “inappropriate” behaviour.

The majority of the 10,000 crowd behaved within the spirit of the game but one or two culprits ruined the contest for the two Lukes.
A PDC Statement said: “The PDC wishes to strongly reiterate that it does not condone any behaviour which can disrupt an event, such as whistling or booing when players are throwing.
