British diver Tom Daley insists that all of his success so far has made him no different to any other 18-year-old.

Great British diver Tom Daley has insisted that he is no different from anybody else of his age.

The 18-year-old has been tipped by many to compete for a gold medal at the Olympic Games in London this year.

Despite the pressure that is due to come his way as the Games draw closer, Daley has revealed that the success he has enjoyed so far has not changed him as a person.

"Last night I actually baby-sat and dog-sat for a couple of my neighbours," he told Sky Sports News. "I'm just a normal person, I do what everyone else does.

"I go to the shops and go in town, just whatever really. It's just general downtime."

Daley will be competing in his first Olympics this summer.
