As Keely is not as popular as the market thinks, the Littler haters have to split votes 5 ways...while he will be getting multi-voting galore.

Also as pointed out yesterday, Keely can't even rely on a decent regional turnout as Storey will soak up a good chunk of any women only voters and Littler is also in the mix for that region.

The Man Utd connection that seen her at Old Trafford also takes a massive hit, as Luke is a die hard fan lol

And the protective betfair daddies

oh the same bullsh1t you have repeated numerous times, so you don't have any new news or positives then.

I did tell you every single business that was open would have the boring games on as background fodder so the number is b0llocks.
just like it wasn't 4.8 million people watching Littler coz pubs only count as one, and how many people were in each pub watching Littler that night ?
Had it been on terrestrial tv it would of been closer to 20 million

All my facts above are proven with the google search stu, god knows where Keely came in at...probably not even in the top 100

You worry all day, every day. Otherwise you wouldn't keep posting on here...stalking me over sharing news stories and updates on Luke Littler.
Not like you're here updating us on Keely

Luke Littler trends higher than PM on Google in 2024


Dart sensation Luke Littler has said he "can't quite believe" he has trended higher than the prime minister and the King in Google's most searched for lists in 2024.

The 17-year-old star was an unknown when he came to prominence as the youngest player to reach the World Darts Championship final in January.

He has subsequently risen to fourth in the world rankings and his fame has led him to lie behind only Catherine, Princess of Wales, and US president elect Donald Trump as Google's most searched for person in the UK in 2024.

He has also taken the top slot as the most searched for athlete on the search engine, which he said was "a proud moment" in what had been "an amazing year".

A peak TV audience of 3.7m watched the then-16-year-old's appearance in the final.

He lost by seven sets to four to world number one Luke Humphries, but earned £200,000 as the runner-up.

He beat Michael van Gerwen later in the same month to win the Bahrain Darts Masters and secure his first Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) senior title.

The event also saw he become the youngest person to make a nine-dart finish on live television, which is considered one of the sport's highest achievements and sees a player score the required 501 in the lowest number of darts possible.

In May, Littler won the 2024 Premier League Darts, his first major PDC title, and in November, Littler won the Grand Slam of Darts for his first major ranking title.

The corporation's statistics showed that after each win, there was increased interest in Littler online, with even his first round exit on his World Grand Prix debut in October appearing in searches.

Littler, who plays under the nickname of The Nuke, said it had been "an amazing year for me personally, and for the sport of darts as a whole".

"To be recognised in two Year in Search lists is a huge honour," he said.

"I can't quite believe I'm trending higher than both the prime minister and the King in the 'People' category—and in a year of such great sporting achievements, it's a proud moment for me to be the top trending athlete in 2024."

Google's Year in Search lists, external were also impacted by the announced return of rock superstars Oasis for a 2025 tour.

The Mancunian legends topped the list of most searched for musicians, ahead of Sabrina Carpenter, One Direction, Dave Grohl and Raye, while "how to get Oasis tickets" was second only to "how to vote in the UK" in the list of searched questions.

Matt Cooke from the Google News Initiative said 2024 had been "a year of comebacks, curiosity, and community".

"Whether it's fans reuniting for Oasis, young sports stars like Luke Littler making waves, or Brits voting in everything from elections to Eurovision, these searches show a nation full of passion and interest," he said.

"It's amazing to see what captivated the UK, and it's always a privilege to highlight these moments in our Year in Search."

Clear as a bell who the BBC want to win, even pushing him over the rest of the nominee's

Little Luke throwing darts at 18 months old will be part of his VT and will win over most of the undecided on the night

Though i think he has enough traditional vote to win anyway

Not lukey's audience, but a nice clue on who to back for t3

Quite interesting that Keely can't beat root by much with that audience
