🎯 Luke Littler’s Bold Pick for BBC Sports Personality of the Year! 🎯
Darts prodigy Luke Littler just made headlines again, but this time it’s not for his skills on the board! As one of the nominees for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year, you’d expect him to back himself or even the odds-on favourite, Rory McIlroy. But no, Luke has thrown a curveball by backing F1 champ Lando Norris!
🔝 After cruising through his World Darts Championship opener with an impressive win over Darius Labanauskas, Luke sidelined his BBC award prospects, instead tipping his hat to Norris, who just clinched his first F1 world title in Abu Dhabi. The McLaren driver has had a blistering season and has a real shot at the SPOTY honour, in Luke’s eyes.
🏆 Despite McIlroy’s jaw-dropping season, including a career Grand Slam and £26m in winnings, Luke believes Norris deserves the spotlight, making him a surprise contender. Not to mention, there’s also Lionesses star Chloe Kelly in the mix, shining bright after leading England to another European Championship victory.
🎯 “Nah, I don’t think so,” Littler said about his own chances, confidently backing Norris: “If I had to give my winner, definitely Lando.”
🔜 With a 10-day break before returning for the second round, Luke remains focused on darts but isn’t shy about sharing his wishlist for the prestigious BBC accolade. A quirky touch during his post-match interview was when he had a brief encounter with a wasp but remained unfazed, showing his cool under pressure.
Catch all the excitement as Luke prepares to take on Welshman David Davies in the next round after securing his spot with a win over Belgium’s Mario Vandenbogaerde. It’s all happening at Alexandra Palace – cheer him on!
What do you think of Luke’s pick? Can Norris steal the spotlight? Or will McIlroy or Kelly take the crown? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! 🗨️👇
