Luke Littler is reportedly poised to snatch a lucrative TV deal as the star of a revived Bullseye series, potentially forming what has been branded a "dream double act" with cricket legend Freddie Flintoff.

Littler, who beat Michael van Gerwen in Friday night's World Darts Championships final, caught the eye of ITV chiefs during his pairing with Flintoff in a festive one-off special of the classic show.

According to The Sun, a TV source said: "Luke will be getting deals thrown at him from all quarters, but ITV are confident that he’ll be tempted. This deal could turn him from being a darts star into a bona fide TV star."

Bullseye scored big this holiday season; with a whopping 3.3 million tuning in on December 22, followed by a subsequent 2.6 million for the Christmas Day rerun. An added bonus of 700,000 watched it on ITVX, too.

The on-screen chemistry between 17-year-old Littler and 47-year-old Flintoff helped the show become a hit among critics and fans.

Flintoff, who many on social media described as a "natural host" and the "perfect" successor to Jim Bowen, stunned viewers when he hit the bullseye and labelled it his "finest sporting achievement".

However, The Sun report there may be a stumbling block with regards to getting the reboot off the ground owing to Flintoff's cricket commitments — he is the coach of the England Lions — while he is also said to have two other shows already in the pipeline.
