Littler, who started last year's World Darts Championship as a 16-year-old, was beaten in the final at Alexandra Palace but his success had a dramatic impact on the popularity of the sport.
Joe Root, who became England's leading Test run scorer in October, finished third. Sarah Storey, Alex Yee and Jude Bellingham were the finalists for the public vote.
