Littler broke the record set by his opponent, Michael Van Gerwen, who won the first of his world titles aged 24.
But as part of a sketch for the BBC, the pro took on an audience member for a game of darts.
Michael McIntyre transformed into a very convincing Sky Sports pundit for the match in Blackpool.
Ditching his black hair for a blonde, slicked back look, Michael looked almost unrecognisable in the packed out venue.

In the tense clip, the 48-year-old could be heard commentating on the nail-biting game as audience member Gary held his own against Luke.
The audience then looked tense as the game drew to a close and Gary prepared to throw his final dart.
It remains to be seen if Gary actually beats world champ Luke.
The scenes will play out during this weekend's Michael McIntyre's Big Show from 6:50pm on BBC One and iPlayer.

- Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow: Airing on BBC One, this programme ran from 2009 to 2011. It saw Michael host from different venues across the UK. In each episode, Michael himself performed along with three other comedians before a headline act. Some notable guests included Sean Lock, John Bishop and Sarah Millican.
- Royal Variety Performance: Michael has hosted the prestigious show on two occasions; in 2010 and 2014.
- Britain's Got Talent: In 2011, Michael joined the long-running ITV entertainment series. He formed a new-look panel with Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and David Hasselhoff. However, he ultimately exited after one series.
- Michael McIntyre's Big Show: First introduced as a one-off Christmas special in 2015, the Big Show later became a full series. The BBC series features guest comedians, comedy sketches and musical performances - as well as fun surprises.
- The Wheel: Debuting in 2020, Michael both created and presents this game show format. It sees seven famous faces on a spinning wheel, who are selected at random to help contestants answer questions from a select group of categories.
