Amanda Milburn, the mother of darts sensation Luke Littler’s girlfriend Eloise Milburn, has defended their romance despite their age difference after her daughter was subjected to “vile” online abuse from trolls.
Luke, a 16-year-old who recently gained popularity for his skill with darts, went public with his 21-year-old girlfriend, Eloise Milburn, after it was revealed they had been dating for six weeks, it reported. Mirror.
The two are said to have first connected while playing FIFA on Xbox. Eloise has since been seen cheering on her new partner Luke, who is the youngest darts player to reach the World Darts Championship final.
The match will take place at Alexandra Palace in London tonight, and Luke could win both the coveted trophy and £500,000.
However, Eloise’s mother Amanda Milburn has responded to accusations that her daughter is a “money grabber” and harsh comments about the five-year age difference between Luke, who turns 17 on January 21 .
Claiming that “Eloise has been accused of all kinds”, mother Amanda denied that her daughter was only with Luke for his money and fame and called the comments a “total package of disgusting lies”.
Amanda told the daily mail, “A lot of horrible things have been posted online about my daughter and my husband Phil, and I am very angry about it. She is not with him for any of these reasons. She doesn’t care about her money or her fame, she is with him because he likes her. It’s as simple as that.”
“It’s really painful when we read these comments, many of them from so-called darts fans. My daughter is none of those things these vile people are kissing. She is a lovely young woman who is in a new relationship and people should allow that.” “Let them move forward with things.”
Although Amanda and Phil have yet to meet Eloise’s new boyfriend, Luke, they have chatted on the phone and she mentioned that things are going so well that marriage may be in the works.
