    Tom Daley has turned into a celeb ****. Most serious athletes have already started dedicating the next four years to training to win a gold on the next olympics. Daley should be at his peak then but I doubt he will even be there, let alone win a medal.

    He says that getting a tv show on itv whete "he" is the star is a dream come true. How very very sad.

    Very well put - couldn't agree more, and the comment about him wanting to be the star is consistent with stories from those who have worked with him talking about his monumental arrogance and prima donna behaviour.

    And as you say, a serious athlete would be focused on Rio, which, of course he isn't. Just another obnoxious wannabe.

    Not prepared to comment on Daley's personality never having met him, but he has added two more junior world titles to his collection since the Olympics so not exactly slacking off from training

    Is Seam Wilkinson taking part, complete with a packet of Daz?

    (Well, Daley is in that ad too!)

    I had to google all of those people aside Donna Air but that's a vague memory from the 90s and Omid Djalili. I assume the rest are tabloid darlings.

    Sounds utterly tragic

    And after seeing a bit of 'That Dog Can Dance' last night, I didn't think ITV could go much lower.

    The diving bit could work as a Celebrity Games type show that Channel 4 used to do, but not on its own. It will be utterly tedious.

    Yup, Tom, you're certainly the 'star' amongs that lot. Grow up boy, don't squander your talent like this.

    I've only heard of 4 of them, and there's only a couple who actually have jobs. It's a worse line up than ITVs "Drop the celebrity":yawn:

    Yes but remember the best divers he is up against are Chinese. They make their stars train 24/7 can't see them doing reality TV. He reminds me of many of our failed tennis players etc where they don't focus on the training. To win the gold is massive sacrifice and devotion to training like Mo Farah, or Jessica Ennis. They did a few things post Olympics but no long before they are back in training.

    Daley just doesn't seem to have the dedication to win gold or push himself to achieve.

    Splash. What is the show called? Nose dive? Bottoms up? Rock bottom?

    Tom, what were you thinking of?

    Judging by his 'tan' I can see why he got a bronze medal.

    Oh well, that's his career now. Love Island, Celebrity Masterchef, I'm a Celebrity, SCD/Dancing on Ice, all interspersed with time on the sofa with Schofield and an autobiography each year and a contract with Hello.

    I saw the advert for this on ITV today and I just have one word to say about it:

    WHY?!

    Plus that line up is utter crap. I've only heard of 3 of those celebs. ITV really need to quit it with using Z-List slebs in their shows! :mad:

    I've heard of all those people. Think this will flop though.
