HERE’S something you won’t have seen during the BBC’s coverage of the Olympics this summer – although Tom Daley’s fans might be clamouring for the outtakes.

Tom, who won gold at the Games in Tokyo in July, told the Table Manners podcast: “Basically the trunks just need to have a drawstring so they don’t fall off first of all.

“At 35mph they’ll come off, and if you don’t tie them up, they’re off, down by your ankles.

“At a competition, yeah, my bum’s been on the big screen.

“But it’s like one of those things that happens and they don’t show it on the replay, but still.”
