Luke Littler's meteoric rise to the top of sports continues as he's set to earn up to £10,000 a night, as an after-dinner speaker.
The 17-year-old burst onto the scene at last year's World Championships when he defined the odds and made it all the way to the final, before suffering a narrow defeat to Luke Humphries.
However, the run has catapulted Littler into the spotlight and is now one of the most famous teenagers in sport.
Now he's set to discuss his journey to the top of darts and the sporting world, with The Sun reporting he's signed a deal to be an after-dinner speaker with agency Champions.
Littler could earn up to £10,000 a night from the gig, and the agency, which already boasts names such as Glenn Hoddle and Kevin Keegan on their books, have high hopes for their new recruit.
