English tabloid The Sun posted a photo of Luke Littler earlier this week showing 'The Nuke' holding The Sun's newspaper in one hand and a doner kebab in his other.

The publication did not go down well with mainly fans of Liverpool Football Club, who passionately hate The Sun because of the newspaper's coverage of the Hillsborough disaster in 1989, in which 97 Liverpool fans died.

"Today a photograph of me holding up a newspaper has been published in the media. The media attention I have been getting is very new to me and I didn't fully understand at the time what I was being asked to do," writes Littler on his social media. "In no way do I endorse that newspaper or the headline which accompanied the article and I sincerely apologise for any offence this has caused."

On Saturday night, the English prodigy will be back in action at the World Darts Championship. At the last sixteen, Littler will face Raymond van Barneveld. ''I'm focusing now on my next match with Barney and would like to thank everyone for their amazing support," he concludes.

Well Said Haylee! It really is pathetic to see grown men making derogatory remarks such as Lego head, it is like being back in a school playground and in contrast to them Luke conducts himself like an adult.

Lego head is a complete hipocrit, of course he knows what he's doing. He's been paid to endorse them and then spits on them for the sake of pathetic oversensitive Liverpool fans , the same fans that regularly taunt Manchester United fans over the Munich crash and lob bricks at Manchester City coaches. So if Lego head is genuinely sorry, will he donate his fee The Sun paid him. Plus he is always stuffing his ugly gob with kebabs so the headline is partially correct, what does Stephen Bunting think of it ?

Liverpool fans always like to play the victim, Ritchie... but it is never their fault. Take me back to the 80s any day of the week.

You don't know me, yet hypocrittly presume I am no gym buff...how does that affect my mental well-being. Luckily I am blessed with looks, wealth, health and I exercise daily. I couldn't care less about your opinion, you have yours I have mine, I say it how it is, it's a comment page. In a nation plagued with obesity he should live and promote a healthy lifestyle not gobbling pizza and kebabs. Finally, jealous of what exactly....
