Luke Littler has jokingly mentioned that he might entertain the idea of entering the I’m a Celebrity jungle if a substantial offer of £50 million was on the table, despite admitting that this year’s show has not exactly been appealing to him.
The 18-year-old darts prodigy has been closely following this season of the show to support his friend Angry Ginge. Speculation arose about Littler’s potential participation in the show after Angry Ginge’s inclusion in the lineup, with Littler indicating he would consider it for the right compensation.
When asked about the possibility of following in Ginge’s footsteps, Littler responded, “Maybe, if the price is right. I might consider a brief stint.” However, he has now revealed more details about what the “right price” would involve but seems less enthusiastic about the prospect of joining the jungle hosts, Ant and Dec.
In a recent interview with talkSPORT, Littler expressed, “I initially said I’d go in if the money was right, but after witnessing all these challenges, I don’t think I could handle it. It’s just like being around snakes and all that stuff.” Despite initially declining a £10 million offer, he hesitated when the interviewer proposed a staggering £50 million, changing his response to a “maybe.”
As Littler gears up to defend his title at the upcoming PDC World Darts Championship at Ally Pally next month, Angry Ginge is preparing for his next bushtucker trial on the reality show. Littler, the reigning world champion and current world No 1 in darts, aims to emulate Gary Anderson by retaining the Sid Waddell trophy, starting his title defense against Darius Labanauskas on December 11.
