Jamie Stone, MP for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross and Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Culture, Media and Sport said: “The country is gripped by darts fever and the spectacle of 16-year-old Luke Littler becoming a world champion.

“The final must be free to air on TV so that millions of Brits don’t lose out on this historic moment. Sky Sports should share the rights with the likes of BBC or ITV.”

However, the final will not be able to stream for free online and those wanting to watch Luke Littler will have to be Sky Sports subscribers or pay for a day pass.

The teenager from Warrington has won over fans with his confident performances and down-to-earth interviews. Littler beat his idol Raymond van Barneveld in the quarter-final before conquering Scott Williams in the semi-final. He has also defeated Christian Kist, Andrew Gilding and Matt Campbell in his fairytale run to the grand final.

Littler said: "I have no words. It's just crazy, that I'm in a World Championship final on my debut. I was happy winning one game but I could go all the way. My target was to still be here after Christmas and now here I am in the final.

"I've just settled on the stage - once I find the rhythm, I'm good to go. I'll just keep doing what I've been doing. In the morning I'll go for my ham and cheese omelette, then later a pizza and then practice on the board."
