Darts sensation Luke Littler has been spotted enjoying a night out with his new female friend Faith Millar and a group of pals.
The 18-year-old shared a photo on social media showing the group gathered around a table full of drinks in a pink-lit booth at an undisclosed location, with his arm draped around Millar.
This social outing comes after "The Nuke" recently went public with his friendship with the 19-year-old beautician, having previously shared a snap of them cosying up together in a back garden earlier this month.
The Daily Mail revealed that Littler met Faith Millar in February, with the pair reportedly becoming "almost inseparable" since their first encounter.

Despite their frequent appearances together, both Littler and Millar have been keen to downplay any romantic connection, "insisting emphatically that they are not dating or in a relationship".
A source said: "Faith and Luke have become firm friends and enjoy one another's company a lot."
They added: "Faith and Luke met a few weeks ago. They just clicked and since then have spent quite a bit of time with each other."
Millar hails from Wigan, just 15 miles from Littler's home in Warrington, Cheshire, making it convenient for the pair to spend time together.

"They live quite close to each other so it's been easy to meet up," the source explained.
The eyelash beauty specialist has already been introduced to Littler's parents and has visited the PDC World Champion's mansion several times.
She has also accompanied the darts prodigy to public events, including a Q&A session organised by his darts sponsors BoohooMan in Manchester in March.

Despite trying to maintain a low profile, Millar has reportedly been "pestered quite a bit" by Littler's fans curious about her identity.
The blossoming friendship comes nine months after Littler split from his previous girlfriend, 22-year-old Eloise Milburn, in June last year.
At 19, Millar is closer to Littler's own age than Milburn, who was in her twenties when she began dating him while he was just 17.

Milburn reportedly faced hostility from some online fans during their relationship, something that was known to upset both her and Littler.
The darts star is believed to have ended his previous relationship because his increasingly busy schedule left the couple with hardly any time to spend together.
Since becoming a household name following his darts heroics at Ally Pally in December 2023, Littler has become noticeably more guarded about his personal life compared to when he publicly dated Milburn.
The source described Millar as "a very ordinary, very sweet, normal girl", emphasising there's "no big story" behind their friendship.
Shortly after his previous breakup, Littler was briefly linked to a mystery woman when a female voice was caught on his microphone during an online gaming session with YouTuber Angry Ginge, though this person was never identified despite the clip going viral.
