Diving icon Tom Daley is set to appear on our TV screens tonight as a guest judge on ITV1's The Masked Singer. Born and bred in Plymouth, Tom made history by becoming the first British diver to secure five Olympic medals, including a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Games.
After his remarkable achievements in the pool, Daley chose to retire in 2024 and is now taking up other projects. Before his appearance tonight, let's delve into his life journey, from the severe bullying he endured at school to his devastating loss, as well as his warm family life with his husband and children.
Following his participation in the Beijing Olympics in 2008, Tom became a global sensation. However, he soon discovered that not everyone was pleased with his success.
Upon returning to school, bullies mocked him for his minimal attire during diving, even resorting to throwing objects at him and issuing threats.
