Tom Daley tells the UK Mirror he does not swim in the man pond:
"I think it's funny when people say I'm gay… I laugh it off. I'm not. But even if I was, I wouldn't be ashamed. It wouldn't bother me in the slightest what people thought. But I can understand why I have a massive gay following – I spend most of my life half naked in trunks on a diving board showing off my bare chest. I often joke I wear more to bed than I do to work. But I'm cool with my gay following. It's great to have gay fans even though my friends gently take the mick. I just think about my diving. If people think I am gay or that I don't focus on my diving enough and go out too much, there is always going to be an opinion – and if I worry about that too much, then my diving goes downhill."
