The hunky British Olympic diver, who has long been at the center of gay rumors, told The UK Mirror:
“I think it’s funny when people say I’m gay... I laugh it off... I’m not. But even if I was, I wouldn’t be ashamed. It wouldn’t bother me in the slightest what people thought."
“But I can understand why I have a massive gay following – I spend most of my life half naked in trunks on a diving board showing off my bare chest.
Daly added,
"But I’m cool with my gay following. It’s great to have gay fans even though my friends gently take the mick.”
“I just think about my diving,” he says.
“If people think I am gay or that I don’t focus on my diving enough and go out too much, there is always going to be an opinion – and if I worry about that too much, then my diving goes downhill.”
“But it is bizarre when girls scream in my face. It’s the less attractive ones that always seem to come up to me.
“No girl has asked me to sign her breasts – but when I was in Mexico I remember some girls going crazy and jumping on the car I was in, kissing all the windows until they were covered in lipstick.”
Tom reveals he’d love to have a girlfriend, but is single at the moment. “I was seeing a synchronised swimmer before the Olympics but she lived in Bristol and I wasn’t driving so we couldn’t meet up,” he says.
“I have a soft spot for American diver Kassidy Cook but she lives in Texas – the long distance would be hard.
"I have never had a serious relationship. It has never worked with diving."
