Ahead of the UK’s Shark Week starting next month, Olympic diver Tom Daley has released a video of his recent partnership with SeaWorld to help raise awareness of the threat sharks face in the wild.
He also revealed he’s more than a little bit ticklish when it comes to people touching under his arms or feet.
Perhaps unsuprisingly, some of Daley’s fans on Twitter found the 21-year-old’s partnership with SeaWorld a little fishy.
If @TomDaley1994 wanted to raise awareness for @SeaWorld he should have just lived in a bath tub for the next 20 years.

@TomDaley1994 tsk tsk #SeaWorld has an appalling animal care reputation in its theme parks. Theres plenty of documented proof out there!
