At just 15 years old, Mitchell Lawrie has his sights on a £501,000 bullseye should he beat world darts champion Luke Littler in a potentially life-changing live appearance on national television.

The Renfrew teenager is one of 24 amateur players chosen to take part in Netflix's live special, Beat Luke Littler, which will be broadcast from the Manchester Central Convention Complex on Friday.

Each contestant has the chance to face Littler in a single leg of 501 but the first to beat the 19-year-old two-time world champion will land the big-money prize and bring the competition to an immediate end.
