The British diver and heartthrob tells how he beat his struggle with low moods

Tom Daley: I had the post olympics blues

Tom Daley is the consummate gentleman of the sporting world. The British Olympic diving star is always unfailingly polite whenever we speak to him, greeting us with the sunniest of smiles. He’s also very easy on the eye, with a six-pack to make our eyes water – but more on that gorgeous body later. At 23, Tom is already getting ready for his third Olympics in 2020, while juggling planning his wedding to fiancé Dustin Lance Black – a Hollywood film producer and screenwriter – and launching his new health book Tom’s Daily Plan. Whew!

But life hasn’t always been plain sailing. Tom lost his beloved father Robert to brain cancer in 2011 and reveals that after a tricky 2016 Olympics he felt very low indeed...

When we last chatted to you, you told us you were planning to have your wedding in Los Angeles. Is that still the plan?

I don’t know. We haven’t finalised anything yet, but there are lots of things we’re planning at the moment. I’m sure you’ll all find out soon.

Will it be in America or in the UK?

That would be telling!

Do you want children?

I’ve always wanted a family. It’s something I want, but who knows. Again, that’s something in the future that we’ll think about when the time comes.

Is it hard juggling a long-distance relationship with your fiancé Lance?

It can be hard, but Lance is now spending a lot of time in London and will move here for a bit. We’re both busy people, but we get it.

Do you ever disagree at all over ideas for your wedding, or do you have the same dreams about what you want?

I feel like we have the same ideas. I’m not the creative one, Lance is – he goes into the details and I like to think I can do the food and cake tasting.
