I don't understand how both Lukes are drawn in the same side of the draw and are deemed to meet in a semi final, I thought they'd be on opposite side of the draw given their results over the year and the reigning champion ?

Humphries is world number 1 & Littler world number 4, therefore they're scheduled to meet in the semi-finals. Seedings done via world rankings which are done on rolling 2 year money list, as Littler only has 1 year of results he's ranked worse than he probably should be.

Rob Cross at risk of punishment after obscene gesture during World Championship exit.
Former world champion Rob Cross could be punished by the Darts Regulation Authority after he appeared to make an obscene gesture during his loss to Scott Williams on Monday.
Cross, who won the World Darts Championship back in 2018, was beaten 3-1 by Williams in their second round match as he became the latest big name to be eliminated early from this year's tournament.
A record number of seeded players have already been knocked out, with Cross becoming the 14th victim after the exits of Michael Smith, Dave Chisnall, Danny Noppert, Gary Anderson, James Wade, Ross Smith, Martin Schindler, Mike De Decker, Dirk van Duijvenbode, Gabriel Clemens, Gian van Veen, Ritchie Edhouse and Raymond van Barneveld.
And Cross could also find himself in hot water with the sport's authorities after he appeared to imitate a sexual act during his defeat to Williams. The gesture was caught on camera by Sky Sports and the 34-year-old may now be hit with a fine.

The 2 year ranking list includes the World Championships of 2 years ago, where (I think) Smith beat Van Gerwen.
This means that the provisional seedings for the next tournament would (all things being equal) see Littler rise to Number 2.
Once the Worlds start, this list gets updated with every match, and (for a saddo like me) is an interesting watch
It's December so that means only one thing......F ARTS !
