But he could be about to run into the pair after it was announced his brother Roman will take on American DeMoor on the Misfits 21 card.

Headlining is KSI against rival Dillon Danis with Till facing ex-UFC star Darren Stewart on the undercard.

Roman will be making his Misfits debut and will expectedly be cornered by dad John and 10-0 Tommy.

A back and forth started after Roman, 28, posted on Instagram: “This fool is finally getting put to sleep.”

DeMoor, who starred on Netflix’s Too Hot to Handle, replied: “I’m shivering in my boots egg head.”

Tommy, 25, also commented: “Easy work.”

By DeMoor, 28, jibed: “Your ex gf easy work buddy.” A reference to Tommy’s break-up with Molly-Mae Hague.

Roman is 4-0 in his career with DeMoor having four wins, four losses and one no-contest.

Tommy beat KSI and underwent hand surgery afterwards before a scheduled return against Till.

But after Till threatened to KICK the 2019 Love Islander in the head, he pulled out of the bout.

Tommy still has not got a comeback fight lined up while KSI, 31, and Till, 32, will return on the same card.

Littler beat rival Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in the Ally Pally final.

And now the Nuke has changed his Facebook profile to reflect his victory.

Littler switched his profile picture to an image of himself looking nervous on stage.

He then captioned the photo with: “Receiving 500 thousand pounds…”

The world champ then shared the change on Instagram and wrote: “Thought my Facebook needed a new profile picture .”

Littler was left furious last Thursday after being knocked out of Premier League Darts week three in the quarter-finals.

He suffered a 6-4 defeat to Gerwyn Price in Dublin.

And as he walked off down the stairs for the exit door, he furiously launched his darts equipment away and moaned under his breath.

Littler appeared to be frustrated by the fact Price was slowing down the rhythm of the game.

After the match, Price said: “I want to be a tough nut to crack for every player.

“That’s what I used to be. Maybe two or three years ago I was but since then, I’ve slipped off the radar.

“I’m coming back. I probably wouldn’t have won that game without the crowd. They were fantastic for me.

“It was like Cardiff all over. I think they feel sorry for us Welsh rugby players.

“My game is in a great place. My mind is in a good place.”

NEW flights to Thailand are being launched by a low-cost airline this year from the UK.

Norse Airways has confirmed plans to start a new route from London Gatwick to Bangkok in Thailand.

The new route is the first Asian destination for the airline[/caption]

The budget carrier launched in 2022, replacing WOW Air which went bust in 2019.

Offering cheap long-haul flights from the UK, the new route will start from October 26 with four services a week.

One-way fares start from £295pp although we found some for as little as £203pp when travelling in March 2026.

This is much cheaper than the current cheapest fares starting from £438 with Thai Airways.

Other airlines with direct UK to Bangkok flights include Singapore Air, Emirates and British Airways, with return fares around £700 (compared to Norse’s £527pp).

Of course passengers will have to pay for all the extras on top, as the cheapest fare doesn’t include luggage or meals.

However, the new budget route will make it much cheaper to visit Thailand’s capital city.

The airline’s founder Bjørn Tore Larsen said they were “thrilled” to launch their first Asian destination.

They added: “We’re excited to launch direct flights between London Gatwick and Bangkok, a top choice among our travelers.

“This addition not only strengthens our existing network between Asia but also builds on our routes from London Gatwick to destinations across the Atlantic and South Africa.

“For us it’s all about offering more travel options at great prices without compromising on comfort and service for those looking to enjoy a beautiful and warm winter sunshine destination.”

Passengers will fly on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, with either economy or premium economy options.

Thailand was named a top travel destination this year by Travel + Leisure, with both British Airways and TUI also launching new flights in response.

It also recently featured in the new White Lotus series.

And Norse Atlantic already have an number of other low-cost, long-haul routes in the UK including to New York.

New last year was a London Gatwick to Las Vegas flight, with one-way fares as little as £163.

And a new London Gatwick to Cape Town route launched last year as well, starting from £499.

However, the airline has also confirmed they would be scrapping a UK route this summer as well.

The London Gatwick to Miami route will no longer operate from October 26.

Brits will still be able to fly with both Virgin Atlantic and British Airways who have flights to Miami from London Heathrow.

Much of the rain will be concentrated in England and Wales until around 1pm.

The heaviest lashing is predicted in Wales with up to 16mm set to fall per hour.

Those in the south and south east of England, particularly along the coastline, are also due to be hit by torrential downpours into the afternoon.

As the morning progresses, bands of rain are forecast to move north eastwards, which will see areas in northern England affected later.

Meanwhile Met Office maps show lighter showers across Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The Environment Agency has issued more than 100 flood warnings in wake of the heavy rain.

There are 15 flood warnings where flooding is expected primarily scattered around major rivers in the south west of England.

Officials have also highlighted 87 areas where flooding it is possible, stretching across the south up to the midlands.

There are also several in Wales and eastern Scotland.

However, a slightly brighter outlook is on the horizon moving further into the afternoon – with sunny spells expected for most.

Met Office meteorologist Kathryn Chalk said in a forecast on YouTube: “After an unsettled Sunday, most of us should see a good deal of sunny spells as we go through Monday but we still hold on to some heavy spells of rain so it is still a damp start so take care during rush hour there could be some spray on the road.

“The band of rain will clear its way eastwards and behind that we should see brighter skies developing.

“There will be a few showers bubbling up especially across the southern parts of England into London and East Anglia.

“Frequent showers across Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland where they could turn heavy, possibly with the odd rumble of thunder.”

There will be lighter winds compared to Sunday, and highs of up to 14C in the south east.

Further showers are to be expected through the night, particularly in the south east.

Temperatures are also set to drop as bitter north westerly winds move in across the UK.

Brits can expect to wake up to a touch of frost on Tuesday morning.
