Luke Littler jokingly mentioned that he might entertain the idea of participating in the I’m a Celebrity jungle if a hefty sum of £50 million was offered, despite being deterred by this year’s show. The 18-year-old darts prodigy has been closely following the current season to support his friend, Angry Ginge, whose appearance on the ITV program sparked speculation about Littler’s potential involvement.
When questioned about the possibility of joining the show, Littler commented that he might consider it for the right price. However, he has now revealed that watching the challenges on the show has made him rethink his eagerness to join hosts Ant and Dec in the jungle.
During an interview with talkSPORT, Littler expressed his apprehension, stating that after witnessing the challenges, he feels he couldn’t handle it. Despite initially declining the idea for £10 million, he entertained the thought when the interviewer proposed a staggering £50 million.
He elaborated on his reluctance, mentioning his aversion to snakes and similar challenges. Littler humorously remarked that he might fly over, only to quickly dismiss the notion. While Angry Ginge prepares for his upcoming trials, Littler is focused on defending his title at the PDC World Darts Championship, commencing at Ally Pally next month. As the reigning world champion and newly crowned world No 1, he aims to replicate Gary Anderson’s feat by retaining the Sid Waddell trophy, starting with a match against Darius Labanauskas on December 11.
