Luke Littler was left in an awkward spot during a live Sky Sports segment before watching his beloved Warrington Wolves on Friday night.
The reigning world darts champion was a guest of honour for their Super League match against the Catalan Dragons, with the night geared towards celebrating his achievements at the oche.
For one night only, their home ground was renamed The Luke Littler Stadium and he was invited onto the pitch to parade the Sid Waddell Trophy ahead of kick-off.
Littler, a lifelong Wolves fan and season ticket holder, also appeared on Sky Sports for an interview before the match and took part in a unique challenge.
He was tasked with throwing a rugby ball at another rugby ball, which had been placed on a kicking tee, with the aim of knocking it off.
Unsurprisingly, he nailed the challenge at the first attempt but was quickly interrupted by the presenter, who forgot to specify that he was not supposed to throw the ball like a dart.
“Oh, hang on! Sorry! Wait, wait, wait,” said the presenter, scrambling over her words. “I meant to say you can’t throw it like that! But you know what? You’re a world champion so I’m going to let you have it.”
