The 20-year-old has added the dive - known as 'The Firework' - to his repertoire in place of a "terrifying" twister dive that left him needing therapy.
'The Firework' comprises 3.5 somersaults with a twist and has a 3.6 degree of difficulty (DD), a dive that Daley has previously said he hopes will earn him a gold medal at the 2016 Olympics in Rio.

Daley began practice of the new dive today at the Plymouth Life Centre, where he will compete in the men's platform event of the National Championships on Sunday afternoon.
