Luke is now just 7-1 to win the title, down from 150-1 before the tournament started

Although he settled for a burger in the end, we made sure Luke got his kebab today.

Reflecting on his victory and his aspirations for the tournament, Luke said, "I got the crowd going by shouting, 'Do you wanna see me get a kebab?'. But in the end after I left the arena, I went for a McDonald's instead."

This isn't the first time Luke has celebrated a win with a kebab and Coke. The darts sensation, nicknamed "Nuke," triumphed over Canada's Matt Campbell in the third round of the PDC World Darts Championship, securing a prize of at least £35,000.

If Luke wins his fourth round match tomorrow against either the Welshman Jim Williams or his hero, the Dutch former world champion Raymond van Barneveld, he could be looking at a payday of £50,000.

From Warrington, Luke's odds of winning the title have dramatically improved from 150-1 to just 7-1.

Luke expressed his excitement, saying, "It would be unbelievable to win. I want to take it all the way now. It feels amazing to have the crowd behind you. It gives me an extra boost knowing I have 3,500 of them on my side. It's inspiring. Just unbelievable to hear that many people chanting."

Luke's mum Lisa, who works in a candle shop, was in the crowd to witness his latest victory. He shared, "I started crying when I saw my mum. She was nervous. I said to her, 'The dream continues.' She said the same thing."

While Luke received a new Xbox controller for Christmas as a Man United fan, he hasn't yet thought about how he'll spend his potential winnings. He said, "I haven't thought about spending the money yet, I haven't thought about losing. I don't want to lose."

Before matches, Luke listens to Flo Rida tunes to pump himself up. He walks out to Greenlight by US rapper Pitbull.

In addition, footage has surfaced online of Luke playing darts at the tender age of 18 months. He credits his taxi driver dad Anthony as the one who inspired him to take up the sport.
