The back-to-back world darts champion, 19, is one of tens of thousands of punters in attendance at the opening day of the festival and is enjoying the day alongside darting rivals from an executive box.

‘The Nuke’ donned a grey suit jacket and waistcoat with dark trousers, smart shoes, and a pink tie to match Faith’s jacket. Sharing the snaps on his Instagram story, Littler offered his fans a view at his life away from the oche.
And in the second image showing off his suit, Littler said: “Day 1. Thanks to @wifetobebridal for today’s suit.” Faith shared the image of the duo accompanied with two red love hearts on her own story.
However, Littler wasn’t the darts star at the famous event, and Luke Humphries got his event off with a bang.
Cool Hand had put £1k on Old Park Star to win the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle and with 9/4 odds – banking him an eye-watering £3,250.
However, Humphries won’t be keeping the money – and in a social media story he revealed it would be going to charity. Cool Hand’s tipster landed an even bigger windfall, raking in £17,500 off a £5k stake.
The pair might have been a tad nervous coming into the final hurdle as Old Park Star, ridden by jockey Nico de Boinville, was behind race leader Sober Glory.
However, when Sober Glory stumbled Old Park Star was able to navigate through some traffic to take the win.
