Tom Daley said he hopes he will be as good a dad as his late father was, as he paid tribute to him seven years after his death.

The Olympic diver’s dad Robert passed away in 2011 after a battle with brain cancer.

Daley, who is expecting a son via a surrogate with his husband Dustin Lance Black, posted a picture on Instagram showing him as a baby with his dad.

He wrote: “7 years you’ve been gone.

“You were the best Dad.

“I hope to be the best dad to our future son.”
