ADIL Ray has been slammed by furious Good Morning Britain viewers who suggested he had "fat-shamed" darts sensation Luke Littler.<br /><br />It came after the 17-year-old star thrashed Nathan Aspinall in the Worlds Darts Championship on Wednesday.<br /><br />Luke beat his rival at London's Ally Pally 5-2 and is still a contender for the whopping £500,000 prize money - having already bagged a runner-up loot of £100,000.<br /><br />Yet despite his huge achievement progressing to the semi-final stage, where he will meet fellow fan-favoriteS, Stephen Bunting, Adil expressed his "worry" over the BBC's young sports Personality of the Year champ.<br /><br />Shortly after the first hour of Good Morning Britain wrapped, Citizen Khan star Adil said: "I have to say and this might not be very popular, I'm a little bit worried about Luke.<br /><br />"He's 17 and turning into the look of a darts player."<br /><br />He continued on the sporting sensation - who has confessed to a love of kebabs and Swizzels Squashies sweets: "He is though. If I were his mum and dad, he's sort of - look at him.<br /><br />"He's admitted he has pizzas before a match and sits there playing computer games. I think I'm a bit worried."<br /><br />Kate - a mum-of-two herself - suggested many teenagers loved pizza before saying "fretting" Adil should "pop over with a carrot", as the pair laughed.<br /><br />He continued: "Just before the final, 'I've brought a nice little salad for you from Pret'."<br /><br />Adil added: "I know but he's going to get more successful and I just worry."<br /><br />Wrapping up the discussion, Adil praised Luke's talent and said, “He's brilliant, though. I absolutely love him. He's great.”<br /><br />Yet after his remarks, fans were quick to take to X to express their disgust at his use of language.<br /><br />One threatened to call the broadcasting watchdog Ofcom, writing: "Really, fat shaming live on morning TV @Ofcom should investigate this shocking behavior."<br /><br />Another put: "Wow @adilray body-shaming Luke Littler on live TV, call to @Ofcom needed @GMB. He's not even that overweight. I bet Adil hasn't even seen the inside of a gym."<br /><br />A third raged of Adil's words: "All I know is it was cringe, unnecessary and he should know better. He definitely wouldn't have made those comments if Luke was female."<br /><br />One then tagged the show directly on X and put: "Your host's fat-shaming Luke Littler, a 17-year-old boy is unacceptable and unnecessary. A bitter & unhappy new year for Adil & Kate."<br /><br />Another put: "I can’t believe the body shaming by Adil Ray on this morning’s GMB about Luke Littler.<br /><br />"This program will have carried disapproving items on body shaming in the past.<br /><br />"Leave the young lad alone. Would he have said that about a woman? I think an apology is in order."<br /><br />Another surmised: "Please ditch that Adil Ray! I hope he makes a public apology to Luke Littler after making derogatory comments about him."<br /><br />SunSport have contacted Luke Littler's team but they have declined to comment.<br /><br />Luke will again take to the oche tonight.<br /><br />Yet he has revealed he does not practice on off-days, instead p
