But I am here with the trophy.”Littler has faced boos and heckles from the crowd throughout this year’s Premier League as well as at Alexandra Palace in December.He added that the hostility towards him has even made him question taking part in the competition.The world champion explained: “After Brighton and the incident in Manchester, I was sat at home saying to Faith [his partner] ‘I don’t want to do it anymore, just the crowd every week’.“I said to her, ‘I’m down bad.'”View Tweet: https://t.co/Mvw4a0tFJHLittler had clashed with the audience during his semi-final win over Price earlier in the night.Classy HumphriesAs he fought back the tears, Humphries put his arm round his rival in a classy embrace between the pair.With his emotions running high, Littler’s on-stage interview was cut short as Humphries instead spoke to James.Cool Hand said: “It is emotional, you have seen it from Luke there.

I think, like I said on the mic, I just give him a cuddle, so just take a bit of time. I’m always there for him if he needs it.“And I think maybe it is emotional sometimes because you’re on the road 16, 17 weeks and he’s had a lot of hard time.“From Manchester, it’s probably like been a build-up of emotion from him. And maybe I think he had a little bit of support at the end there.“And he’s kind of felt like, thank God, I think people have sort of seen past one mistake and let me rebuild. And people were cheering for him. I think that was just a nice moment for him.“I love him to bits. He’s one of my great friends. And if I need to step in to take the line off him a little bit just to let him relax, I’ll do it.”Littler has now won two Premier League titles in the last three yearsGettyWayne Mardle also sympathised with Littler after his comments following the final.The Sky Sports pundit said: “Hearing him talk about maybe wanting to pull out and not come back.“He’s had doubts and he’s come back…I’ve got nothing but admiration for him, and he’s a teenager!”Mardle continued: “It’s a lonely place. I’ve seen people buckle, want to walk away, but he’s got a great team behind him.”Despite not turning 20 until January next year, Littler is already a two-time Premier League champion.His victory over Humphries secured a 13th PDC premier event victory, with his tally including two world titles.
