Tom Daley has discussed the NSFW present he gave to his diving partner Noah Williams.
In an interview on Daley’s YouTube channel, which has resurfaced as a result of their participation in the 2024 Paris Olympics, the diver and knitting enthusiast revealed that he made Williams a “c**k sock”.
“It was your 21st birthday and we were in the middle of Budapest,” said Daley, “and I was like, ‘What am I going to get him for his birthday? You know what, I’ve got yarn, I’ve got a crochet hook, and I’m gonna make him a c**k sock.’”
The 30-year-old then stated that he knew what size to make the sock because he goes by “the one-size-fits-most rule”.
Williams then asked Daley if he’s “surprised that I’ve actually worn it a few times”, to which Daley responded: “No, I’m not. I think you actually posted a photo on your OnlyFans of you in your c**k sock. It’s nice that they’re used.
“Most of the time people use it as, like, a little novelty thing that never actually gets used. So, yeah, at least it’s used.”
On 29 July, Daley and Williams competed in the synchronized 10-meter diving event, where they won silver.
Following their triumph, Daley told reporters that their win is “so special”:
“This time last year deciding to come back not knowing whether I would make the synchro team, let alone qualify for the Olympics and now to be in Paris diving in front of my son who asked me to come back, is so special,” he explained.
“It completes the set because I now have one of every colour.”
Williams emotionally remembered his late coach Dave Jenkins, who passed away in 2021: “It means a lot to me. From third last [in Tokyo] to second, my coach passed away after Tokyo and to be honest I don’t want to talk too much because I will cry, but I’m really happy.”
Daley said he’d “never seen Noah cry in my whole life”: “I know how much this has meant to him and Dave has been such a key part in Noah’s diving success and career.
“It’s very sad that he’s not here to see this but I know both Dave and my dad would be very proud of us going in and doing a really, really solid performance for a silver medal.”
Williams also praised his partner, saying he performed “amazingly”: “The fact he dove like that, and China were really good as well, helped me to elevate how I normally dive to what I did today.”
As of writing, Team GB now have now won five medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics, three in silver and two in bronze.
