Tom Daley auctions off a pair of his hand-crocheted swimming trunks for £10,000 after announcing retirement from diving following Olympic silver medal win


The crotchet swimming trunks were made in partnership with drinks brand Malibu and the Royal Life Saving Society UK.

Fans flocked to the auction site to bid on the limited edition crotchet piece with the lucky winner spending a small fortune in order to get their hands on the trunks. Earlier this month the father-of-two took to Brighton beach to model his swimming trunks alongside a giant sign that read '1 in 4' and referenced the number of water-related deaths linked to alcohol.
