Revealed: Darts sensation Luke Littler’s victory meal is £7.99 mixed meat wrap from German Doner Kebab – as manager says they are ‘proud to be helping power him’
Teen doctor sensation Luke Littler is celebrating his stunning victories with treats from a kebab house just yards from his London hotel, MailOnline can reveal.
The 16-year-old, who has taken the sport by storm with his participation in the PDC World Darts Championship, is believed to be a fan of German fast food chain Doner Kebab's mixed meat doner wrap.
He recently posed for a photo of himself nestled in the foyer of the hotel where he is staying while taking part in the tournament at London's Alexandra Palace.
The Warrington-born star – dubbed Luke the Nuke – held up the £7.99 doner wrap with one hand on GDK's hexagonal wrapping paper with a satisfied look on his face.
The kebab usually comes with red cabbage, onion, tomato and lettuce, supplemented with chili, garlic and yogurt sauce

However, Littler likes nothing more than lettuce and mayonnaise, so he probably had it custom made.
He takes on 2018 champion Rob Cross tonight for a place in the final, having already earned £100,000 en route to the semi-finals, beating Brendan Dolan 5-1 in the last eight on Sunday.
GDK – which started in Berlin in 1989 – has a branch just 300 meters from the Hilton Hotel where Littler stays, near the Angel in north London.
One of the managers, Shah Zandi, 50, told MailOnline: 'We are proud to help him achieve victory.
'The mixed doner wrap is very tasty. It's not too spicy and has a generous mix of meat, sauce and salad.
'It is not overloaded with ingredients, simple but tasty. Just the way he likes it.
'I've been working here for eight years and eat the same kebab as him almost every day. For me it's the best in Islington.
“We haven't seen him in this store yet, so he either asks someone to pick it up for him, or he orders online.”
'The Hilton is very close. In that photo of him eating the kebab in the foyer of his hotel, you can see the wrapping paper we use. Plus, it looks like he had an egg roll as a side dish.
'I'm glad he's enjoying it and wish him all the best for the rest of the tournament.'

With two more wins at the Ally Pally, the teenager is crowned world champion.
If that happens, Kebhouze, a rival kebab shop on London's famous Oxford Street, has promised to issue a black card for an endless supply of freebies.
Littler, who takes on Englishman Rob Cross in the semi-finals of the World Darts Championship tonight, has now been seen as the face of the sport for 25 years after becoming the odds-on favorite to win the tournament.
He now has £100,000 in prize money in his pocket and the kebab and Xbox loving teenager, who only managed his GCSEs last summer, is now just two wins away from claiming the crown and £500,000 in prize money in what is one of the biggest sporting events would be fairy tales of recent years.
Brand and culture expert Nick Ede told MailOnline that he believes Luke Littler could be a millionaire within weeks, with the top stars earning at least £2.5 million a year.
Promoter Barry Hearn believes he can make £10,000 a night from exhibitions 'without blinking', declaring: 'This is a Boris Becker moment, this is a Tiger Woods moment'.
Mr Ede said: 'Luke Littler is the unlikely first hero of 2024. He is on course to earn at least 100,000 this week and if he makes the final of the World Darts Championship he will earn double that and then some.'
As well as winning a legion of fans – including celebrities and sports stars – he has also captured the heart of new girlfriend Eloise Milburn, 21. She was seen kissing her 16-year-old boyfriend as he headed to his history-making semi-final.
His beauty consultant girlfriend is a musical theater fan and singer – who is also a national standard darts player herself – and experts believe the lovers could become a power couple, and every advertiser's dream.
Luke has taken the sport by storm and could become its biggest star due to his age and explosive start to his career. His shocking new girlfriend, a glamorous older beautician and darts star herself, also helps.
During the celebrations following his victory, the 'Prince of the Palace' kissed and hugged Eloise before sharing a photo of the two of them on Instagram and declaring: 'The dream continues. Incredibly proud of you!'
