Tom Daley 'overwhelmed' by support since announcement

Daley 'overwhelmed' by public support

Tom Daley has confessed that he is "overwhelmed" by the support he has received since announcing that he is in a relationship with a man.

The Olympic bronze medallist made the revelation in an online video released last month.

"The support from the public and the media and everyone has been overwhelming," the 19-year-old told BBC Sport.

"It's been so positive and it's put me in a great place and right now I couldn't be happier. Hopefully 2014 is going to be a good year."

Daley will compete in London for the first time since the 2012 Olympic Games in April when he takes part in the World Cup Diving event.
