LUKE LITTLER was left fuming after an over-excited man pushed his MUM during his walk-on.
The incident occurred moments before Littler took on Stephen Bunting in the Premier League of Darts.
The pair were drawn together in the quarter-final of Night 4 in Exeter.
And Bunting walked out first to a great reception from the crowd.
Littler followed soon after as the World Darts champion soaked up the atmosphere.
But the mood quickly turned sour as fans flocked to greet him.
Littler’s mum Lisa was in the VIP section as usual to hug her son on his way to the stage.
However, as the pair linked up, Littler’s mum was barged aside by another fan.
It saw the 18-year-old flare up in anger as his intro music continued playing overhead.
And supporters were quick to react to the incident online.
