Darts sensation Luke Littler has rated I’m a Celeb winner Angry Ginge’s chances at PDC qualifying school – Q school – after the YouTuber hinted at a shock appearance in 2027 in a bid to become professional. Speaking on talkSPORT, the 24-year-old – whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle – admitted the challenge would be tough, given he could face full-time darts professionals.
However, Burtwistle remained optimistic, saying if he committed fully to the sport, “nothing’s impossible.” Angry Ginge added: “I don’t think I’ve got a chance [of making it through Q School], to be totally honest with you. But Q School, more for the experience. What harm can it do?”

Angry Ginge is close friends with two-time world champion Littler and even accompanied the Nuke’s family and girlfriend stage-side at his recent World Championship win over Gian van Veen.
Littler believes we may see Ginge at Q School one day. But based on his current level, he’d need a combination of skill, luck, and consistent practice to make an impact.
“For Ginge himself, if he gets the luck of the draw, he could win a few games,” Littler told SportsBoom.co.uk. “He’d need to do a few hours a day constantly [to actually win a tour card]. But we’ll see him at Q School one day.”
Littler, who bypassed Q School after reaching the world championship final on debut in 2024, admitted he doesn’t fully know the challenges of the event.
“It’s hard obviously. I didn’t go through Q school, so I don’t know what it’s like to play in there. I see some of the results every year and people lose with like 105 averages.”
However, Littler views Ginge as “just another person entering Q School,” he acknowledges that someone with his profile could attract significant attention to the sport. “It’s just another person entering Q School.” He said.
“With the profile he’s got, it’s massive. He won’t be too fussed if he gets his card or not. But yeah, it’ll be interesting to see if he ever did get his card.”
Despite their close friendship, Littler admitted he wouldn’t be able to offer much practical help, and doesn’t want to reveal his secret recipe to success.
He added: “I can’t help him out too much. Everyone always ask me for advice, and I just can’t give it.” But, the YouTuber’s performances have impressed Littler, who believes Ginge could surprise at the oche.
“Luke’s said I’m actually quite decent,” Burtwistle said. “I’ve played against him a couple of times, and every time I’ve took a leg off him. Then I played him early last year and I missed one dart at double to beat him.”
When asked about Burtwistle’s chances, Littler admitted that the YouTuber has indeed taken some legs against him when they’ve played together. “Yeah, he has, he’s had a few,” Littler confirmed.
