Luke Littler surprised by Fallon Sherrock win on Netflix show
World number one darts player Luke Littler admitted he expected amateur opponents before Fallon Sherrock won the £501,000 jackpot on his Netflix series last month.
Littler faced professional winner
Luke Littler stated he initially believed the competition would feature pub players rather than skilled professionals. He lost to Fallon Sherrock after defeating fourteen other contestants in a row. Sherrock defeated him in a one-leg shoot-out where she checked out in fifteen darts. The event took place on October 30 at Manchester Central.
Selection process details
The show format allowed non-Tour members to compete alongside established players like Mitchell Lawrie and Zach Griffiths. Sherrock entered through qualifiers but required a public vote to secure her spot against Littler. She previously reached the last thirty-two at the PDC World Championship in December 2019. Sky Sports pundit Mark Webster criticised her inclusion while Littler defended her victory.
Upcoming tournament schedule
Littler will defend his Grand Slam of Darts title live on Sky Sports starting Saturday. He is grouped with Beau Greaves and Niels Zonneveld in Group A at Wolverhampton. The tournament runs from November 14 to November 22 before the World Championship begins later. Littler expressed interest in growing darts profiles through future programmes despite the busy schedule.
