Luke Littler has yet to speak to Gian van Veen since on-stage spat

Luke Littler admits he has yet to talk to Gian van Veen since their Manchester bust-up, but insists the matter is finished.

The pair were involved in an on-stage spat in the Premier League three weeks ago, with the back-to-back world champion accused of celebrating when his opponent missed a match dart.

There was a frosty handshake at the end of the match and some afters on social media, with both players since doubling down on their versions of events.

Littler says he has not cleared the air with the Dutchman, but is looking forward to a rematch.

“No, we’ve not spoken. I’m not the type of person to go up and talk to him or something like that,” the 19-year-old said.

“Maybe he’s waiting for me to go and talk to him, but I’m not the type of person to do that, even in the practice room, people will talk to me first.

“I’m not the type of person to be chatting away.

“We can obviously settle it on the darts board, but back stage, it’s just been normal and been the same preparation-wise.

“I think he’s forgotten about it. I’ve forgotten about it. I moved on the day after, went on holiday.”
