Gian van Veen has stated that he does not require a conversation with Luke Littler to resolve their on-stage dispute during Night Nine of the Premier League in Manchester. Van Veen emerged victorious in a contentious match where Littler reacted angrily after Van Veen turned towards him while throwing darts in the deciding leg. Van Veen deemed Littler's behavior as 'out of order' for celebrating towards the crowd, which prompted him to stare at Littler, ultimately leading to Littler missing match darts and losing the contest. Littler has since shared his perspective on the incident, claiming his celebrations were directed towards his girlfriend and father.
However, Van Veen's opinion on the matter remains unchanged, and he insists there are no hard feelings between them.
