LUKE LITTLER is poised to rival Stephen Bunting by starting a similar side hustle.
And the Nuke revealed that he already has plenty of ideas in the pipeline to get the quest off the board.
Littler, whose arrows success has seen the sport explode in popularity, is already a hit on social media.
And the 18-year-old – who regularly streams himself playing EAFC 25 – is open to launching his own YouTube channel.
The world champion was asked if he’d join Bunting in starting his own channel on the Huw Ware podcast.
Littler said: “Yeah, I think it’s one for the future. Definitely one for the future but at the minute, it’s a case of just chilling out, seeing the year through.
“There’s loads of ideas for YouTube, like ‘Day in the Life of Luke Littler’.
“Or just filming darts. Playing against fans on the Target Darts counter. There is a lot you can do.”
Bunting – who beat Littler on his way to claiming the Bahrain Darts title in January – has more than 65,000 YouTube subscribers.
The 39-year-old appears to have started it fairly recently, with four videos posted in the last month.

“The Matchplay didn’t go too well for me last year, so I’d like to win at least a game there and go deep into the tournament.”

The Warrington-ace was then asked how he prepares to play on the world stage, after appearing visibly emotional after the first-round of the world champs.
He revealed: “There’s been a few times where I felt nervous, but I just think to myself, just enjoy it and you won’t get nervous.
“But I’m pretty sure I was born with no nerves. And when you’re playing, you get the first leg, the first two legs,
“And you settle in even if the opponent comes back at you, you know, you’ve got the game to come back.”
Littler hasn’t exactly kicked on from his record-breaking win at Ally Pally on January 3.
He was dumped out early in the Bahrain and Dutch Masters, before losing to Michael van Gerwen in the first round at the first night of Premier League darts in Belfast.
The teenager was also knocked out of the first Players Championship event of the year on Monday – after losing to 6-3 Rob Cross.
