Tom Daley has revealed it’s not only commemorative Olympics jumpers he can knit – he’s also perfected the making of willy warmers too.
The Olympic gold-medal-winning diver, 24, has developed his knitting skills over the years – even releasing his own patterns and kits – but there’s one that probably won’t be available to purchase any time soon…
He revealed to to TikToker Holly H on her Planet Weirdo podcast: ‘It’s so therapeutic, and you can make some really crazy things.
‘Honestly, the most requested thing for my friends’ birthdays and things like that are c**k socks. I’ve done so many willy warmers. It’s unreal.’
We’re guessing the jumpers he makes – including a dupe of one Harry Styles wore – are probably a lot more wearable… and less itchy.
Tom also opened up on how having his son Robbie, three, with his husband Dustin Lance Black, transformed their lives.
He explained: ‘I mean, I’m completely biased, obviously, but he is a really cute kid and he’s just really sweet and kind and caring. I mean, he’s the best.
‘Becoming a parent is such a weird thing, you don’t realise how much you can love something until you become a parent.
‘Once you’re a parent, oh my goodness, it unlocks a whole different level of your heart. It’s nuts, to be honest.’
Tom also took part in a fundraising challenge for Comic Relief this week, helping to raise over £1million to help bereaved children.
The sportsman was inspired to complete a gruelling 290-mile four-day Hell of a Homecoming challenge, in which he journeyed from London to Plymouth by foot, water, boat and bike, after losing his own father to a brain tumour when he was 17.
He said after the challenge: ‘It’s a great project I came across called Balloons, they help children deal with bereavement, something I’ve experienced having lost my Dad.
‘They’re great people doing great work and a life line to so many kids struggling with their grief.’
