Supermarket Iceland want Luke Littler to become ‘face of frozen doner meat’ after huge boost in sales during darts run
LUKE LITTLER could become the face of Iceland's kebab range following his incredible PDC World Darts Championships run.
Littler shocked the world by reaching the final of the tournament at the tender age of 16, beating his hero Raymond van Barneveld in the process.
His dream of becoming the tournament's youngest-ever winner, however, was shattered by Luke Humphries in a 7-4 thriller on Wednesday.
A host of big-name brands are champing at the bit to partner with the teen sensation - including Iceland - after he revealed he enjoyed a kebab after playing along with other fast food snacks.
The frozen food powerhouse want "The Nuke" to become the face of frozen doner meat, so much so they're willing to offer him a lifetime's supply of his favourite takeaway.
Iceland CEO Richard Walker told : "I'm going to invite him to any one of our three shops in Warrington and he can have free kebab meat for life.
