English diving star Tom Daley says that impending parenthood takes the pressure off and is "a nice distraction" as he chases a Commonwealth Games hat-trick.
The 23-year-old and his husband Dustin Lance Black revealed on Valentine's Day via social media that they are expecting their first child, using a surrogate.
Daley, a tabloid favourite in Britain because of his good looks and talent, said ahead of the opening ceremony next week of the Commonwealths in Gold Coast, Australia: "It changes your perspective on a whole manner of things.
"It's really nice and exciting to have that distraction away from the diving and you can think afterwards of some exciting things happening no matter what happens here."
