Olympic diver Tom Daley "overwhelmed" by his love for 'secret boyfriend'

Daley "overwhelmed" by love for partner

Olympic diver Tom Daley has admitted that he fell in love "quickly" when he met his new partner, who is rumoured to be Oscar-winning director Dustin Lance Black.

The 19-year-old sportsman revealed in a YouTube video on Monday that he is in a relationship with a man.

While appearing on The Jonathan Ross Show, Daley revealed that he met his current love at a party earlier this year and that he made the first move by telling him to get in touch.

"I'd never felt the feeling of love, it happened so quickly, I was completely overwhelmed by it to the point I can't get him out of my head all the time," Daley said on the show. "I've never had it before where I love someone and they love me just as much."

Daley's appearance on the show will be aired on ITV on December 7.
