"I'm spitting image of darts sensation Luke Littler - strangers mistake me for him"

A man is loving his striking resemblance to teenage darts sensation Luke Littler - as mates jokingly ask what he plans to do with the prize money. Sarah Marshall, 31, posted a video of her partner, Christopher Roger, 33, watching the darts - but less eagled-eyed viewers could have easily mistaken him for the world number 2. While Christopher sat watching the two-time World Darts Championship finalist before his third-round tie on the 29th December, Sarah casually panned round to her partner who shares a remarkably similar side profile. Sarah jokingly quipped "how is Luke Littler on my TV and sat in my living room?" as Christopher - who doesn't see the resemblance - shook his head. The video has since racked up over three million views and over 250,000 likes with many also seeing the similarities. Sarah, an operational support manager, from Bradford, West Yorkshire, said: "When Littler was in the final last year I thought he looked like him. "No one had ever said he looks like Littler but my mum used to say he looked a little like Gerwyn Price. "He pulls the same expressions as Luke as well. "Christopher used to play rugby and his walk off the pitch is exactly the same as and when Luke's walking back from his darts - the similarities are there. "They've got a similar hairstyle too. "When he shakes his head, it's so similar. "His family can't believe how much it's gone viral - he doesn't see the similarity at all." Littler made history when he became the youngest World Darts Champion at just 17 in a historic victory against Michael Van Gerwen on Friday (3/1). Chris says he's now become the brunt of the joke at work following Littler's win. Christopher, a mechanic, said: "People at work have been making comments like ‘well done Luke’ and ‘what you spending your winnings on?'. "From the front on I don't see it, but from how I was sat and my hair I guess I looked a bit like him. "But only in the looks, I'm dreadful at darts - I hit the wall more than the dartboard! "So no plans for a career change. "We were watching it every night so she's been seeing the resemblance more and more. "She [my partner] mentioned before the video that she saw the resemblance." Strangers on social media also chimed in on the joke. One user said that Littler had "recorded it so he could watch it at home". Another said: "He’s Luke Littler off Wowcher." A third commented: "I think if you got him a Luke Littler shirt and some darts he can make some serious £££ as a lookalike 🤣."
