Luke Littler's mother Lisa has hit out at 'vile t**ts' in the crowd at the Alexandra Palace after her son was booed by some sections during his World Darts Championship victory against Rob Cross. The defending champion saw off his opponent 4-2 in a tricky last-16 clash and then bullishly thanked those who had jeered him for 'paying for my prize money'. Littler dubbed the atmosphere at the historic venue 'hostile', but his mother had far stronger words on social media as she rushed to the defence of her son as scores of fans denigrated his behaviour. One commenter had wondered aloud why he wasn't allowed to 'call (Littler) a little pudding because he's 18' since he was able to 'financially ridicule a whole audience who've paid their hard earned money'. Lisa responded: 'So they buy tickets with there (sic) hard earned money to sit there like t**ts and boo (thumbs up emoji)'. #lukelittlerx #littler #darts #allypally #long
