Tom Daley may wear nothing but a speedo a lot of the time but he’s got nothing against wearing clothes.

‘Outside of the pool I don’t walk around the house in my trunks!’ the Olympic diver says in the new issue of Attitude magazine.

‘The other day, an old lady came up to me and said: “Gosh, I don’t recognize you with your clothes on!” and I guess people see me on TV and diving with no clothes on. It’s nice to go to a photoshoot and actually wear something.’

Daley, 22, is on the cover of the magazine’s Body Issue and featured in a 10-page spread inside.

But he doesn’t want to make anyone feel body conscious.

‘I train six hours a day, six days a week. It’s not as if it’s something that happens just from going to the gym for 20 minutes or an hour a day,’ he explains.

‘My life’s about getting to the point where I’m in the physical shape that I can do all my diving the best that I can. So, I do feel bad and I wouldn’t want to make anyone feel that way.
