He was booed and jeered while competing at the German Darts Grand Prix in April.

Earlier in the year, Littler was also whistled on the Premier League night in Berlin.

It saw him post on Instagram that he was boycotting playing in Germany.

But Littler will return to the country next month as he seeks to win the £175k on offer at the German Darts Championship.

He will certainly be hoping it goes better than his last game in the nation of beer and bratwurst.

Littler teamed up with fellow Brit star Humphries in the hope of bringing the World Cup to England.

But they were knocked out in the second round by the host nation, with Martin Schindler and Ricardo Pietreczko winning 8-4.

Littler admitted in June that playing in Germany this year resulted in a “head loss moment.”

He told Sky Sports: “I had a little head loss moment, I don’t get it and can’t explain it.

“Obviously you do your walk-on but then as soon as I got on stage, I started getting booed.

“I got booed in Hildesheim last year, I was flying and they started booing and I lost. Obviously, the Germans mustn’t like us English.”
