Darts champion Luke Littler will be pairing up with his close pal and popular internet personality, AngryGinge, for the hit programme’s biggest signing so far this year.
It is yet another foray into the TV world for Luke who has seen his stardom rise over the past 18 months to become one of the country’s most talked-about sportsmen.
Last year, he appeared as the special guest on Freddie Flintoff‘s ITV revival of popular darts programme, Bullseye.
Luke will make his first appearance on Celebrity Gogglebox this Friday alongside regular stars including Nick Grimshaw and Richie Anderson.
His co-star, Morgan Burtwistle, better known by his YouTube name AngryGinge has amassed a legion of followers since shooting to fame thanks to his infamous live streams.
It will be his second stint in reality TV after appearing alongside Made in Chelsea’s Olivia Bentley and Love Island star Chloe Burrows in the first series of KSI’s hit reality show, Inside.
In a video to confirm their appearance on the show, AngryGinge said: “Me and The Nuke have joined the Gogglebox family this Friday on Channel 4 at…”
He then threw to Luke to confirm the time of 9pm in the light-hearted clip.
Earlier this year, we reported how Luke was set to star in the second series of Sky’s show about arrows stars, called simply Darts.
His future with ITV was also revealed after his Bullseye success.
The reboot of the cult gameshow pulled in almost 7million viewers.
A TV insider said of a deal for the new series: “Luke will be getting deals thrown at him from all quarters, but ITV are confident that he’ll be tempted.
“This deal could turn him from being a darts star into a bona fide TV star.”
Inside Littler’s massive rise
LUKE LITTLER has taken the darts world by storm since exploding onto the scene at the PDC World Championship at the beginning of the year.
The Nuke reached the final on his Ally Pally debut at just 16 years of age – smashing records along the way.
He has then gone on to win a host of PDC events and the Premier League title – which he claimed at the O2 Arena by beating world champion Luke Humphries in May.
He also finished his first season in the World Series as the No1 ranked player.
He has joined Jude Bellingham on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list.
And the teenage titan even had to snub an invite from the WWE.
The Sun exclusively revealed that Littler is plotting to create a fitness empire.
He is also cashing in away from the Oche thanks to an Instagram side hustle.
And he’s even the face of a brand new cereal.
But he is newly single after splitting from girlfriend Eloise Milburn following a 10-month relationship.
