How did you get into diving? When I was six years old, the swimming teacher spoke to my dad at the end of the class. He thought I was going to get a telling off, but she said that I had good body control and should give diving a go. So my dad took me down to Ponds Forge [in Sheffield], which is where I still train, and I had a few lessons. One of the teachers there saw me and moved me into her squad. I went on from there. So, I kind of fell into the sport. It wasn’t something that I really wanted to do when I was young, but when you’re good at something, you enjoy it more.
