Luke Littler humorously mentioned that he might entertain the idea of participating in the I’m a Celebrity jungle if a staggering £50 million offer was made, despite his current reservations after observing this season’s challenges on the show.
The 18-year-old darts prodigy has been tuning in to this year’s series to support his friend, Angry Ginge. Speculation arose about Littler joining the show following Ginge’s inclusion in the lineup, with Littler indicating his willingness to consider it for the right financial incentive.
When questioned about the possibility of following in Ginge’s footsteps, Littler stated that he might consider it for the right price. However, he has now elaborated on the specific financial figure required and appears less enthusiastic about the prospect of joining Ant and Dec in the jungle.
During a recent interview with talkSPORT, Littler confessed, “I initially said I’d participate if the offer was lucrative, but witnessing the daunting challenges has made me reconsider. It’s not something I can easily do.” When asked if he would reconsider for £10 million, he declined, only reconsidering when the interviewer proposed a substantial £50 million.
Expressing his aversion to the jungle environment, Littler explained, “Dealing with snakes and such is not my cup of tea.” He then playfully remarked, “Who knows, I might change my mind… Nah, just kidding!”
While Angry Ginge prepares for his next bushtucker trial, Littler gears up to defend his title at the upcoming PDC World Darts Championship at Ally Pally next month. Last year, he made history as the youngest world champion in darts and now returns as the sport’s top-ranked player.
Littler aims to emulate Gary Anderson by retaining the Sid Waddell trophy, commencing his defense with a match against Darius Labanauskas on December 11.
