Thousands of budding darts players from all over the world have been in Manchester aiming to qualify to play world darts champion Luke Littler and potentially pocket £501,000.

The 19-year-old from Warrington is inviting amateur players to take him on as part of a new television show Beat Luke Littler.

Sixteen-times World Darts Champion Phil "The Power" Taylor was a judge at the second and final audition at Manchester Central Convention Complex which attracted entries from as far afield as Australia.

Taylor said the talent across the two auditions - with the first one held in London last weekend - had been "incredible" and said Littler would have his work cut out to stay undefeated.
