Luke Littler Says Photographer Chased Him on Motorway Days After Driving-Test Pass

He says he posted photos of his BMW to undercut a paparazzo as he turns attention to a Grand Slam title defence that could lift him to world No.1.

Overview

  • Littler passed his practical test in Warrington on his first attempt with zero faults, according to his driving school’s Instagram post.
  • He says a freelance photographer tailed him on the motorway en route to visit his girlfriend, prompting a last-second exit and multiple U-turns that left him shaking and nervous.
  • The 18-year-old explains he shared images of his BMW 120 M Sport to prevent the photographer profiting from shots of the car.
  • He says the BMW, shown with a personalised plate, was actually bought in May and served as motivation while he worked to clear the theory test after several failed attempts reported variously as six or eight.
  • Now ranked No.2, Littler prepares to defend the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton, where the £150,000 winner’s prize could see him overtake Luke Humphries and become the youngest world No.1.
