LUKE LITTLER proved he is both world champion and people’s champion as he flew back from Benidorm with Ryanair.
The 17-year-old sensation – who became darts’ youngest world champion of all time last Friday – took his family away to the Spanish resort for a quick break this week.
His world championship win earned him £500,000 – adding to the £1.4million already amassed in his career.
Littler even stunned fans by turning up to a darts competition at a sports bar in Benidorm and also posed with fomer X Factor singer Matt Fisher, who is a big star in the resort, on the trip.
He stopped for pictures with shocked fans and cheered on brother Leon, 21, in the fun tournament at he took a well-deserved break.
The owners posted pictures on Facebook on Thursday, saying: “Last night saw the first darts tournament of 2025 and what a night it was.
“With a special appearance from the darts champion of the world himself, Luke Littler, and his family and friends.
“We were very honoured to be in the company of an amazing darts player and person.
“With Luke’s brother Leon taking part, the night was a great one as you can expect.”
A small cash prize was up for grabs – but Leon did not win.
