discovery+ has commissioned a one-off, in-depth documentary about the career and life of Olympic diver Tom Daley.

The 30-year-old, who won five Olympic medals for Team GB including one gold, announced his retirement from the sport last summer after the Paris Games.

Called Tom Daley: 1.6 Seconds, the 90-minute special features exclusive footage, personal family films and candid interviews with Daley and those closest to him.

"For most of my life, my head has been in competing," he said. "I've lived in four-year Olympic cycles, trying my best to constantly improve my performance as an athlete.

"That 14-year-old me back at his first Olympics in Beijing, 2008 has been on such a journey and I'm so grateful for every moment, good and bad. I've received incredible support throughout the years, have the most beautiful family and as I reflect on my silver medal at Paris 2024, my eyes are on what the future could hold."

The documentary is due to premiere on discovery+ in June and will also air on TNT Sports.
