As a dedicated follower of sports and entertainment, I must say that Tom Daley’s decision to join The Traitors is a brilliant move for both him and the show! His life experiences as an Olympic diver and a two-time father will surely bring a unique perspective to the game.


Reportedly, British diving sensation Tom Daley is planning to make a splash in reality television by joining the popular BBC series The Traitors.

As reported by The Sun, the 30-year-old Olympic diver is close to reaching an agreement to participate in the celebrity edition of the widely beloved TV show.

The athlete, who hung up his sports gear following the summer’s Paris Olympics, is set to appear alongside Claudia Winkleman and other renowned personalities as they film at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands for a reality series next year, where backstabbing is expected.

A source revealed to the media outlet that he has consistently been a highly sought-after candidate by producers of reality shows. However, his representatives were aware that he had numerous attractive options available to him.

The initial installment of the celebrity special surpasses both I’m A Celebrity and Strictly Come Dancing in terms of excitement, and Tom is confident that the production process will be immensely enjoyable.

‘He’ll make a great player too, as no one would suspect misdeeds from such a baby-faced lad.’

TopMob have contacted Tom’s representatives for comment. 

In Paris, Tom added a silver medal to his collection of Olympic medals as he competed with Noah Williams in the men’s synchronized 10m platform event.

At the Games, the 30-year-old athlete earned his fifth medal while representing Team GB. His first medal was won when he was just 14 years old during the Games held in Beijing, which took place 18 years prior to the current event.

After his victory in Paris, the father of two reflected on his career-ending moment with Vogue, saying, “Standing on the platform, realizing it was my final competitive dive, was deeply emotional.

‘But I have to make the decision at some point, and it feels like the right time to call it a day.

Relinquishing something I’ve dedicated my entire life to will undoubtedly prove challenging. A significant shift awaits me.

I hope others recall me as someone who tenaciously pursued their dreams, never giving up and ultimately making them come true.

“I am immensely proud right now for being Britain’s most decorated diver. Looking back on my achievements, I can honestly say that I am truly content and fulfilled.

Stephen Fry has also reportedly agreed to take part in the new celebrity The Traitors spin-off. 

As reported by The Sun, the 67-year-old English broadcaster was a top choice for Claudia on the BBC One psychological game show, according to her preferences.

It has been disclosed that the comedian was offered a role on the show and agreed to participate, meaning he will indeed appear.

According to a source, Claudia expressed interest in having Stephen as one of her top choices for guests on The Traitors, and Stephen has indicated his willingness to participate.

‘Stephen is a fan of the show and Claudia was desperate for him to be in it.’

They added: ‘No contracts have been signed yet — but he told the show’s bosses to name a time and date and he’ll be there.’ 

It’s said that Victoria Coren Mitchell, the host of Only Connect quiz, as well as actors Adam Woodyatt and Andrew Garfield, are rumored to be on Claudia’s list of potential guests for next year’s series.
