Olympic diver Tom Daley has revealed that he is in a gay relationship after meeting someone earlier this year.

The 19-year-old, whose sexuality has been questioned since he came into the public eye, announced the news to his fans via a video on YouTube.

The sportsman admitted that it was a "hard decision" to open up about his sexuality following last year, when he won a bronze medal at the London 2012 Games after coping with the death of his father.

Daley, who said that he still 'fancies' girls, praised his mother for being supportive after telling her the news.
