Asked on Sky Sports if he is getting used to the attention on him, Luke Littler says: "Yes - the World Championship changed me, my family. Now the months have gone on, the tournaments, I'm just getting used to it all and I'm going to have to get used to it for a very long time. I am enjoying it.

"This is one of the ones I wanted to win. My major record isn't the best but I just wanted to go deep. Obviously it's even better now I've won it and it shows I'm still here."

On how he will celebrate his Grand Slam victory: "I'll probably go home, play on my Xbox and just chill. Then it's a long drive down to Minehead."

Grand Slam runner-up Martin Lukeman, speaking to Sky Sports: "He (Littler) is just different gravy. He's brilliant, isn't he? He's done great for the PDC, great for the sport, bringing loads of new fans and sponsorships."

Asked if he feels a first major win is close: "Hopefully, as long as he goes out early. But yeah, I wish him the best, he's a good kid."

More from Grand Slam champion Luke Littler, looking ahead to the next couple of months: "I'll get home tonight, have three days off and then I'll be back on the road to Minehead (for the Players Championship Finals).

"Hopefully I can go deep in that competition and then it's all eyes on the big one (the World Championship)."

Grand Slam of Darts champion Luke Littler, speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm so glad to win it. I've been playing well all week, it's been a long week but it's paid off. I'm so happy to win this.

"I've always got to have my scoring power with me. No matter who I play, it's got to be there, I can't afford to drop off it in any legs. I had a slow start but I kicked on from there.

"I knew coming into the tournament that if I got my hands on the trophy, which was a long way away, I'd be up to number five in the world. I'm at number five in the space of 10 months, there are two more ranking tournaments to go, so hopefully I can get a bit higher than number five."

Martin Lukeman speaks too - he says he thinks he could win a major title one day... as long as Luke Littler goes out early.

Luke Littler says he's "so glad" to win the Grand Slam at the end of a "long week".
