Luke Littler issues frustrated statement after split from 21-year-old girlfriend Eloise Milburn – ‘No need’

Luke Littler and Eloise Milburn first started dating before his historic run at the World Darts Championships.

Luke Littler has urged his fans to ‘stop sending hate’ towards his ex-girlfriend Eloise Milburn after the pair split up.

The darts sensation and Milburn first started dating last year and the 21-year-old has been a constant presence at several events throughout the year

They were last seen together in America when Littler was competing at the US Darts Masters.

But it was reported on Thursday that the couple had split up due to Littler’s busy schedule.

As well as dominating the PDC circuit and Premier League season, Littler has also had to deal with a busy schedule away from the oche.

However, Littler has now set the record straight on his break up with Milburn on social media and wants fans to back off sending her any messages.

Everyone needs to stop sending hate towards Eloise saying it’s her fault, this and that,” he said.

“I myself split up with Eloise and everyone just needs to give us some time, no need for everyone to message her and give her grief.”

Former world champion Dennis Priestley has advised Littler to focus on his own future before settling down.

Luke should just sit back a little bit and make assessments of where he wants to go with life,” he told OLBG.

“We’ve all seen that before that young sports stars will go to the top and then a woman comes into their life and it changes some people.

“He’ll do what he wants to do and so he should, but a little advice would be to step back and make himself financially safe for the rest of his life – that should be the priority.

He’s done well so far because his whole life has been in the spotlight and it’s a big thing for someone so young like him.

“I was surprised by the age gap between Luke and his girlfriend but obviously they must’ve met up through darts and got on well.

She may or may not have wanted too much attention, we don’t know.”

Littler made his return to competitive action in his World Matchplay debut earlier this week.

But he crashed out in the first round to Premier League rival Michael van Gerwen, losing 10-6.
