Read. today shes on that awful diving show on itv "Splash". Starts next weekend I think. More exposure and wonga for them pahhhhhhh!
Well i'll give it a watch to see how well she floats.
ITV-the land of abject trite drivel watched by white van driving,lager drinking ,kebab eating no marks.
Slightly harsh, he's still a young lad and his best chance of gold will be next Olympics. Plus he's been through it with the illness and subsequent death of his father/trainerTom Daley got a Bronze medal to match his artificial bronzed body.He is a no mark celebrity yet he he gets 2 series of this tripe..He is a C list celebrity miles behind the 29 Gold medalists and umpteen Silver medalists in 2012.
He is akin to Eddie The Eagle.
Dear Tom you are a nice lad but come back and talk to us when you have got a Gold medal and then we might watch but there again this is ITV-the land of abject trite drivel watched by white van driving,lager drinking ,kebab eating no marks.

Not denying the latter bit but so has Tai Woffinden .The difference is he is The World Champion who isn't even short listed for Sports Personality of The Year in a Year bereft of many candidates to challenge Murray and Froome.Yes he has talent and potential but so do many others but his pseudo celebrity status is indicative if the times we live in and certainly typical of ITV--the channel of mind numbing garbage pandering to the brain dead.Each to his own I suppose.
If she floats, she's a witch.
He isn't listed because Speedway isn't a mainstream sport. SPOTY doesn't even have anything to do with it.
Ps yes Splash and the majority of shows on itv are woeful
I made the analogy because you raised the loss of his father.I highlighted he is World Champion but doesn't get a mention whereas Tom Daley gets 2 series for winning a Bronze Medal.As for your assertion that speedway isn't a mainstream sport please compare that to diving and just remind me where the respective sports sit alongside each other.I read somewhere that after Racing ,Rugby League and Cricket ,Speedway is our next best supported Summer sport for overall crowd numbers.
Whilst we are on about it Sir Ben Ainslie has been nominated for being a crew member of The Americas Cup.He is fantastic and his achievements have been magnificent but Sailing Mainstream?
Cricket has not been available free to air for years either.As I said SPOTY has nothing to do with anything regarding this thread, whereas Daley is the host of the show this thread is about. But in response to your points:
1) diving/swimming is readily available across various multimedia platforms via the BBC, free of charge. Unlike Speedway which has been stuck behind a paywall for x years. Blame Murdoch. Add to this the amount of exposure/funding Diving/swimming had as a result of the Olympics
2) yes maybe Tai should have been one if the candidates for SPOTY, but see above
3) it's not Tai's fault he isn't in the SPOTY short list, just the same it isn't Daleys fault that he was brought up from a young age in the media spotlight because of his undoubted talent; now he's fallen on a side career away from his profession. The kid is earning a living for himself and I say fair play - even if the show is utter $$$$e.
Are you really going to compare him to Tai? Please don't

No I am not in the slightest but you said Speedway wasn't mainstream hence he didn't get a nomination.Sailing isn't mainstream either yet SBA got a nomination .That is my point .He won't but I would love Sir Ben to win it.Going to have to disagree before we both go round in circles��
IMO Olympians are in to gain celebrity and wealth nowadays.

Am I the only male that doesn't find Danielle even the slightest bit attractive?

Well that's a surprise, he's now decided he's a gay boy, shouldn't think that has surprised many people.
It is sad that grown men have nothing better to do on a monday morning than try to ridicule the wife of one of our players. For all Tom Daley's 'failings' he has managed more than most of us in terms of sporting success.
Pathetic.
Shouldn't think it's bothered too many either.
