English YouTuber Angry Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, has hinted at a potential shock appearance at Q School in 2027.
Speaking on talkSPORT, the I’m A Celeb winner admitted the challenge would be tough, given he could face full-time darts professionals.
However, Burtwistle remained optimistic, saying if he committed fully to the sport, “nothing's impossible.”
"I don't think I've got a chance [of making it through Q School], to be totally honest with you," Angry Ginge said.
"But Q School, more for the experience. What harm can it do?"
Close Connection with Luke Littler
Angry Ginge is close friends with two-time world champion Luke Littler, even accompanying Littler’s family and girlfriend stage-side at his recent World Championship win over Gian van Veen.
The YouTuber’s performances have impressed Littler, who believes Ginge could surprise at the oche.
"Luke's said I'm actually quite decent," Burtwistle said.
"I've played against him a couple of times, and every time I've took a leg off him.”
“Then I played him early last year and I missed one dart at double to beat him.”
Littler Gives His Verdict
We put this to the reigning world champion at the 2026 Premier League pre-event media day in Newcastle, where Littler confirmed Ginge had indeed stolen a few legs against him in practice.
“Yeah, he has, he’s had a few,” Littler confirmed.
Littler, who bypassed Q School after reaching the world championship final on debut in 2024, admitted he doesn’t fully know the challenges of the event.
“It's hard obviously. I didn't go through Q school, so I don't know what it's like to play in there.”
“I see some of the results every year and people lose with like 105 averages.”
What Ginge Needs to Succeed
Littler believes we may see Ginge at Q School one day. But based on his current level, he’d need a combination of skill, luck, and consistent practice to make an impact.
“For Ginge himself, if he gets the luck of the draw, he could win a few games,” Littler told SportsBoom.co.uk.
“He’d need to do a few hours a day constantly [to actually win a tour card]. But we’ll see him at Q School one day.”
While Littler views Ginge as “just another person entering Q School,” he acknowledges that someone with his profile could attract significant attention to the sport.
“It’s just another person entering Q School.”
“With the profile he’s got its massive. He won’t be too fussed if he gets his card or not. But yeah, it’ll be interesting to see if he ever did get his card.”
Could Littler Offer Guidance?
Despite their close friendship, Littler admitted he wouldn’t be able to offer much practical help, and doesn't want to reveal his secret recipe to success.
“I can’t help him out too much. Everyone always ask me for advice, and I just can’t give it.”
