Luke Littler recently mentioned that he might entertain the idea of participating in the I’m a Celebrity jungle if a substantial £50 million offer came his way, despite being put off by this year’s show. The 18-year-old darts prodigy has been closely following the current season of the show to support his friend, Angry Ginge. There were speculations about Littler potentially joining the show due to Ginge’s involvement, with Littler hinting that the right financial incentive could sway his decision.
During a recent interview with talkSPORT, Littler elaborated on the conditions that would make the offer appealing to him, expressing uncertainties about facing the challenges seen on the show. When asked if he would reconsider for £10 million, he declined, but when the interviewer proposed a staggering £50 million, Littler hesitated, indicating a possibility.
Despite the monetary allure, Littler indicated hesitancy about encountering snakes and other challenges in the jungle. He humorously dismissed the idea of participating in the show, stating, “You never know, I might be flying over… No I’m not!”
While Angry Ginge prepares for his upcoming trials, Littler is gearing up to defend his title at the PDC World Darts Championship, commencing at Ally Pally next month. Having made history as the youngest world darts champion last year, Littler returns to the venue as the newly crowned world No 1, aiming to emulate Gary Anderson by retaining the Sid Waddell trophy. His campaign begins with a first-round match against Darius Labanauskas on December 11.
