Olympic diver Tom Daley has come in his own Youtube video as being in a relationship with a man.
The 19-year-old London 2012 bronze medallist said about the posting: "This has been a hard decision to make, but I wanted you to hear this from me."
In an ideal world, he said, he wouldn't have to do this video. But he was frustrated that other people were starting to tell his story, and he was having to lie about who he was with. "To me, honesty is something I really do believe in." He met someone this past spring, a guy: "Right now, I'm dating a gay, and I couldn't be happier. ... It just really does feel right."
Daley said his father Rob, who died of cancer aged 40 in 2011, always said to him, "As long as you are happy, I'm happy," with the swimmer adding, "My mum has been so supportive as well."
