Tom Daley: Unhappy Birthday!

HE may be a champion diver but Tom Daley’s telly career has hit choppy waters – his travel show has been canned after just one series.

ITV2’s Tom Daley Goes Global, which saw the Olympic hero backpacking around Thailand and Australia with best pal Sophie Lee, flopped in the ratings and was slated by critics.

One writer described it as a “contender for the worst show of 2014”, adding: “It is the ITV2 equivalent of having to look at Lisa from work’s holiday snaps.”

It launched last month with just 402,000 viewers...


Poor Tom - as ever, I blame Dustin Lance Black...

PS Warning, this is from The Sun!

  1. If it's true they'll probably end up blaming the flopping on his coming out as an invert, but the problem is that the ideas behind the shows he's done are fucking paper thin and the only selling point really is that you get to see sexy Tom Daley in them... but is that really enough? This I ask.

    1. Isn't 400,000 quite a reasonable figure for something on ITV2?

    2. No. I think they mean 400,000 viewers across the whole series. Which is like 20 people per episode... :(
