He clarified that his social media activities are centered on TikTok and Instagram, not YouTube. Littler explained that the content he creates with his girlfriend Faith is meant to show fans aspects of his life outside of darts. Videos shared before the Aberdeen event included moments like dancing in a car, applying aftershave, and opening sticker packs.
He noted that these clips feature playful elements, such as wearing penguin bucket hats inspired by fellow player Justin Hood.
Littler described the process as enjoyable but challenging, involving multiple re-takes for each video. He indicated that more content is planned, providing ongoing glimpses into his personal life. Littler compared his approach to that of Stephen Bunting, whose YouTube channel focuses on practice and equipment testing.
However, Littler emphasized that his own content is more about daily activities rather than darts-related topics.
Following a challenging period in the Premier League, including an altercation with Gian van Veen in Manchester and booing from fans in Brighton, Littler has regained form with wins in Rotterdam and Aberdeen. He attributed his success in Aberdeen to strong practice sessions translating to stage performance.
