Luke Littler was offered the 'dream job' after losing the 2024 World Darts Championship final to Luke Humphries.

Littler has made his second World Darts Championship final in as many years as he continues his remarkable ascent to superstardom.

He's beaten the likes of Ryan Joyce, Nathan Aspinall and Stephen Bunting to set up a blockbuster showdown against Michael van Gerwen, who's aiming to win his first world title since 2019.

As for Littler, he's looking to win his maiden world championship, having burst onto the scene last year.

He succumbed to Humphries last year, losing their clash 7-4.

Before losing to Humphries, Littler was offered a job as a 'Top Kebab Taste Tester' by tour operator company On The Beach Group, who penned a letter to the teenage sensation after he was pictured eating a doner kebab.

The letter read: "Dear Luke, We've been watching you... Not in a weird way, but on TV; throwing darts and smashing the trebles more often than a night out on the Magaluf strip (hard luck on missing the Big Fish by the way.)

"We're writing to you to, firstly, wish you luck in tonight's semi-final against Rob Cross (boo!) BUT, if you don't win, us lot here at On the Beach, the home of package holidays, have a proposition for you...

"You may have heard that we've got more holidays to Turkey than you can shake a beach towel at. In fact, we're the Kings of Turkey, and we heard on the grapevine that you're the King of Kebabs.

"So, if you don't win the World Darts Championship, we'd love to offer you a job in the home of kebabs: Turkey. Our offer consists of you becoming our 'Top Kebab Taste Tester' and yes, that is the official title.

"We'll sort the whole thing, send you on holiday and take you to our top Turkish hotels - let someone else worry about flights and check-outs for once.

"While you're over there, you'll get to try every hotels' kebab offering, sample their poolside dart boards and report back to us. A job almost as simple as hitting a 180. For you, anyway.

"Look at it this way, it's a free holiday for as long as you want, travelling around doing the two things you love, throwing darts and eating kebabs. What more could you want?

"Anyway, offer's there if you want it. Think about it...

"Darts career? Or living the life in Turkey? I know which one I'd pick.

"We await your reply."
