As Tom Daley won silver and gold medals at the European Aquatics Championships this weekend, all he could think about was his husband and son waiting back home.
Daley, 26, took home the silver medal in the 10-metre platform on Sunday (16 May) at the competition held in Budapest, Hungary. And as he won gold alongside Matty Lee for the synchronised 100-metre the day before, his two-year-old son Robbie watched on.
