Comedy duo Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan met Luke Littler ahead of the 2025 World Darts Championship and played a match against the 17-year-old star.
Sky announced that Rob & Romesh Vs Darts will return to screens on New Year's Eve, with the world number four joining the show for a special episode.
Rob and Romesh challenged the Nuke to a series of darts where they only needed 2 to win, while Littler faced a standard 501, giving them an early lead of 499.
Just like in a real darts throw, the pair had to end with a double, meaning they were aiming for a double 1.
Littler scored a ton with his first three darts, before Rob stepped to the line to record a no score.
His first dart missed the board completely, while the second landed on the single 4 segment.
Luke Littler has joined comedy duo Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan as a guest on their show.
After being given a 499 lead, Rob scored a double 1 to beat the 17-year-old darts star.
It was all smiles between everyone, while Littler laughed and shared a hug with the comedian.
Littler then scored 25, and Romesh followed with another no score. The young star capped his performance with a 96, before Rob hit a double 1 to win the game.
'I just beat Luke Littler!' he exclaimed three times with his arms raised.
The boy from Warrington came over to congratulate Rob. “Well played, buddy,” he laughed, as they shared a hug.
Littler is looking for redemption in this year's competition after his heroic debut in 2024, when he defeated Luke Humphries in the final.
Arch-rivals were knocked out of the Alexandra Palace tournament on Sunday night by a tearful two-time champion, Peter Wright.
Humphries was swept 4-1 by the impressive Wright, the mohawked 54-year-old Scot, who overcame a chest infection to secure an average of over 100 with a 70 per cent payout percentage.
Humphries' exit eradicates what had been billed as a highly anticipated semi-final showdown with Littler, who must beat Ryan Joyce tonight to reach the quarters.
Littler can now see his side of the draw opening up as he attempts to become the youngest world champion in history.
