Littler produced a stunning performance to win night eight of this year’s Darts Premier League in Newcastle last night.
Luke the Nuke thumped rival Luke Humphries 6-1 in a devastating final.
Following his latest brilliant oche exploits, Littler left the Utilita Arena alongside Faith.
The reigning world champion placed his hand on the 19-year-old’s arm as they exited the venue.
Luke and Faith were joined by a security guard on their way out.
Last week, it was revealed that the pair have inseparable since meeting in February.
Faith hails from Wigan, just 15 miles from the darts star’s Warrington home.
Both Littler and Faith are said to have played down their friendship, emphatically insisting that they are not in a romantic relationship.

Littler’s team declined to comment on the matter when approached by SunSport.
Faith is said to have met Littler’s parents.
A source told the Mail: “Faith and Luke met a few weeks ago. They just clicked and since then have spent quite a bit of time with each other.
“They live quite close to each other so it’s been easy to meet up. Faith has met Luke’s mum and dad and some of the friends he grew up with and she’s been round to his mansion a few times.
“Faith was with him at a BoohooMan event on Monday. But despite trying to stay in the background, she’s been pestered quite a bit by his fans who are keen to know who she was.
“But there’s no big story there – she’s a very ordinary, very sweet, normal girl.”
Littler has not been in a relationship since splitting from ex-girlfriend Eloise Milburn in July last year.

‘NO BAD BLOOD’
At the time, a source told The Sun: “Luke and Eloise have broken up and it is still very raw.
“He is naturally very upset but they have agreed to stay friends.
“Luke and Eloise tried hard to make their relationship work but with his darts schedule, he is travelling non-stop and it has become increasingly difficult for them to spend quality time together.
“He is so focused on his sport and that is taking up so much of his time.
“Calling time on their relationship seemed to be the only way forward.
“There is no bad blood between them and Eloise is completely supportive of Luke’s career.”
Littler himself went on to post on Instagram: “Everyone needs to stop sending hate towards Eloise saying it’s her fault, this and that.
“I myself split up with Eloise and everyone just needs to give us some time, no need for everyone to message her and give her grief.”
LUKE-RATIVE
Littler earned £10,000 for his win in Newcastle last night.
The Nuke took just 36 minutes combined to beat Stephen Bunting, Rob Cross and Luke Humphries.
This means that Littler effectively earned a staggering £277.78 per minute spent playing.
That figure would have Littler earning around £2.8MILLION PER WEEK, if he could always be playing – a sum that works out at over FIVE TIMES the weekly wage of the Premier League’s highest earner Erling Haaland (£500k-per-week).
