Olympic diver Tom Daley has made his modelling debut for sportswear giant Adidas.

The British diving champion has made a splash as a playful fashion model and launched a new teen clothing range with Adidas.

The collection is a line of basics: including jeans, tees, socks and hoodies aimed at 14-19 year olds.

As the UK ambassador of Adidas NEO label, the 20-year-old sportsman, who recently came out and is dating screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, posed wearing the latest autumn/winter collection in different iconic locations across the capital, including Westminster Bridge, the Houses of Parliament, Southbank and Shoreditch.

Daley said: "London is famous for its style, so it was amazing to shoot the new Adidas NEO label collection at some of the city's most iconic locations."

The multi-talented sports star first established himself as a diver competing at the Olympics and Commonwealth Games. He then established a TV career training celebrities on ITV’s diving show Splash. This newest endeavour as a model proves the sports star can turn his hand to any trade.
