Luke Littler humorously mentioned that he might entertain the idea of participating in the I’m a Celebrity jungle if a substantial sum of £50 million was offered, despite being deterred by this year’s show. The 18-year-old darts prodigy has been closely following the current season to support his friend, Angry Ginge, whose appearance on the ITV program fueled speculation about Littler’s potential involvement.
When questioned about the possibility of joining the show, Littler stated that he might consider it if the financial offer was attractive. However, he recently elaborated on the specific amount that would entice him, revealing that he now feels less enthusiastic about joining the show alongside hosts Ant and Dec.
During an interview with talkSPORT, Littler expressed his reservations about facing the challenges seen on the show, admitting that he couldn’t imagine participating in them himself. Despite initially rejecting the idea of joining for £10 million, Littler hesitated and entertained the thought when the interviewer proposed a staggering £50 million offer.
Describing his reluctance to enter the jungle, Littler mentioned his aversion to snakes and similar challenges, jokingly suggesting that he might fly over but promptly dismissing the idea. While Angry Ginge prepares for his upcoming trials, Littler is gearing up to defend his title at the PDC World Darts Championship, where he made history as the youngest world champion last year. As the reigning world No 1, Littler aims to replicate Gary Anderson’s feat and retain the Sid Waddell trophy, commencing his defense against Darius Labanauskas on December 11.
