The British diver recently made waves at the Tokyo Olympics, both by nabbing another gold medal alongside synchronised diving partner Matty Lee \u2013 and knitting his way through the sporting event.<\/p>\n<p>But, despite his diving prowess, Daley admitted to <strong>Radio Times<\/strong> he actually doesn\u2019t like swimming, which made the open water swim for his upcoming Comic Relief challenge a nightmare. He also revealed he wants to become a fashion designer and discussed how fans\u2019 reactions are the reason why footballers don\u2019t come out.<\/p>\n<p>Though it looks like the athlete might be considering a move away from pro diving, his son with husband Lance Black could follow in his footsteps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe loves to find things and jump off them and scare the living daylights out of me,\u201d Daley told <strong>Radio Times<\/strong>. \u201cBut then Lance says, \u2018Well, what do you expect? You climb up things and jump off things for a living\u2019\u2026 But it freaks me out. I look back and think, \u2018How did my parents deal with watching me do what I do every day and not be petrified?\u2019\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Also in this week\u2019s Radio Times Magazine:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul><li>Joanna Lumley discusses how binge watching and stripping programmes across a few nights has made people think she\u2019s out of work and why she doesn\u2019t watch The Crown: \u201cI know quite a lot of the royal family, and I know how distressing it must be to have your life made up and then played out as truth.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Ahead of the Radio 4 remake, Our Friends in the North creator Peter Flannery opens up about how the TV series contributed to the cynicism and despair around politicians he originally set out to question.<\/li>\n<li>Rebel Wilson thinks on presenting the BAFTAs and getting cancelled: \u201cYour head is on the chopping block as the host, which is a bit scary. I get very nervous. It\u2019s a very hard time for comedians, because what can you say without being cancelled?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul><div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--full=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-11-4-Cover-5598e2e.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=300%2C400,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-11-4-Cover-5598e2e.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=300%2C400,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-11-4-Cover-5598e2e.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=355%2C473,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-11-4-Cover-5598e2e.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=355%2C473,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-11-4-Cover-5598e2e.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=405%2C540,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-11-4-Cover-5598e2e.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=405%2C540,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-11-4-Cover-5598e2e.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C739,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-11-4-Cover-5598e2e.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C739,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-11-4-Cover-5598e2e.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C827,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-11-4-Cover-5598e2e.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C827,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-11-4-Cover-5598e2e.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=408%2C544,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-11-4-Cover-5598e2e.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=408%2C544,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-11-4-Cover-5598e2e.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=556%2C741,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-11-4-Cover-5598e2e.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=556%2C741,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><img class=\"&quot;wp-image-1598539\" align=\"\" size-full=\"\" image-handler__image=\"\" image-handler__image--full=\"\" no-wrap=\"\" js-lazyload=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-11-4-Cover-5598e2e.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C827&quot;\" width=\"&quot;1329&quot;\" height=\"&quot;1772&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;Tom\" daley=\"\" cover=\"\" title=\"&quot;Tom\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"&quot;editor-content\" mb-lg=\"\" hidden-print=\"\" js-piano-locked-content=\"\">\n<p><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/audio\/podcasts\/radio-times-podcast-episode-24-martin-compston\/&quot;\">Martin Compston and Tuppence Middleton join Episode 24 of The Radio Times Podcast \u2013 listen now<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/comedy\/kylie-minogue-ghosts-comic-relief-newsupdate\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot;
