Luke Littler called ‘f***ing cheating b*****d’ after coming within one dart of shock defeat to YouTuber in viral video
DARTS world champion Luke Littler has been accused of cheating - after narrowly beating a YouTuber opponent.
The 18-year-old faced off against social media star and friend Angry Ginge on a live stream on Friday night.
Littler clinched the world title last month after beating Michael van Gerwen 7-4 at Ally Pally.
But he was pushed all the way by Angry Ginge as the pair did battle in his bedroom.
The Twitch streamer, who regularly teams up with Littler for online collaborations, won the MODUS Super Series Influencer Darts last year.
And he proved he was no slouch at the Oche as he held his own against The Nuke in a five-leg contest.

With the scores level at 2-2, the pair headed into a deciding leg with Angry Ginge reaching a finish first.
He hit treble 17 to set up a match dart against the world champion.
The incredulous streamer - real name Morgan Burtwistle - gasped: "I've got a match dart to beat you here.
He nervously added: "Let's just f***ing chill out a minute here.

"This is like Gerwyn Price where I walk over and see the trophy first."
Burtwhistle's dart at double 18 narrowly missed, giving Littler the chance to hit double top.
The world champ made no mistake, leaving his gutted opponent throwing out wild claims of bad sportsmanship.
Ginge jokingly shouted: "F***ing cheating b***ard, f**k sake!"
The pair had earlier watched Manchester United's dramatic 2-1 FA Cup win over Leicester City on stream.
Littler's reaction went viral after Harry Maguire scrambled in a late winner to send Ruben Amorim's men into the fifth round.
Littler made his return to the Darts Premier League this week in Belfast.
The Nuke won last year's event - but fell to defeat against Van Gerwen on Thursday in a thrilling contest.

MVG had given Littler a dressing down before the match after the teenager was late for a promotional meeting.
Van Gerwen fumed: "He was forty-five minutes late.
“They need to stop treating him as a baby. He’s not a baby anymore, he’s 18-years-old.
