Is Tom Daley at the Tokyo Olympics? How old is he now and who is he married to?

Team GB's Tom Daley will once again compete at the Tokyo Olympics.

It will be the 27-year-old's fourth Olympic Games - 13 years after he became an overnight sensation by competing at the 2008 Games at the age of 14.

He shot to further prominence a year later, winning the 10m platform world championships at the age of just 15.

Daley also won the world title in 2017 and has previously won an Olympic bronze in the event at London 2012.

He also competes in the synchronized events, winning bronze with Daniel Goodfellow at the 2016 Olympics in Rio.

His father, Robert was a huge supporter of his but tragically died of a brain tumour in 2011 at the age of 40 when Daley was just 17.

After London 2012 he became a TV personality as he fronted a new celebrity TV show called Splash, which brought the sport of diving to a wider audience.

Daley battled with revealing his sexuality before coming out in 2013 and is now a huge advocate for LGBT causes and is also a significant Instagram "influencer".

In 2017, he married the American film director and producer Dustin Lance Black, who is 20 years older than him, and three years ago they welcomed their son Robbie, named after Daley’s late father..

When will Tom Daley compete at the Tokyo Olympics?

His main event, the 10m platform, will be held on August 6 and August 7. It will be the final diving event.

He is also competing in the synchronized event with team-mate Matty Lee, which will be held at 7am on Monday, July 26.

The pair are seen as strong medal hopes for Team GB.
