Luke Littler admits expecting casual opponents on Netflix darts show
World number one Luke Littler has revealed he thought he would only face amateur pub players on his recent Netflix darts special. Instead, the format featured a mix of low-level opponents and recognized competitors like Fallon Sherrock, who ultimately won the £501,000 top prize.
Luke Littler recently starred in a live global Netflix special titled 'Beat Luke Littler', where 24 contestants competed against the world number one in a single leg of 501 for a £501,000 cash prize. Littler admitted that before seeing the official line-up, he assumed he would simply be facing casual pub players. However, the actual field included a variety of participants, ranging from a bin man and a Nando's manager to established players like top women's competitor Fallon Sherrock and leading juniors. Sherrock advanced through an audition process and public vote before defeating Littler to claim the grand prize at Manchester Central.
