Cheryl Cole's diving date with Tom Daley
CHERYL Cole has asked Team GB hunk Tom Daley to teach her how to dive, which he has readily agreed to.
18-year-old Tom has not only captivated the nation with his sporting ability, but also his flawless figure – flaunted in a rather skimpy pair of Team GB swimming trunks.
As well as attracting thousands of young female fans, the diving champion also seems to have caught the eye of fellow national treasure Cheryl.
The pop beauty took to twitter to show her appreciation of Tom's talent, writing: "I think you are amazing! Will you teach me how to swan dive?"

Tom retweeted her and replied saying: "Of course!!! But first you need to follow me ;)"
If Cheryl followed the toned athlete back, the pair could have exchanged more details through private messaging.
Tom has previously admitted that he is a big fan of Cheryl's, recently saying: "I've fancied her since The X Factor. She is just so sexy and my type...
"[Our date] would definitely be in Plymouth and I would take her for a hot-air balloon ride that ended with a BBQ on the beach in the sunset – it's not very glamorous, but I think she might like a change."
I think you are amazing! Will you teach me how to swan dive?

Cheryl's tweet is sure to have given Tom a much needed boost after he suffered abuse from another Twitter user following his failure to secure a medal at the men’s synchronised 10m platform diving event for the London 2012 Games.
A 17-year-old youth was arrested after the malicious tweet was sent to the young star which said: "You let your dad down i hope you know that."
Tom's father Rob died last year from brain cancer and the devastated athlete responded by tweeting: "After giving it my all... you get idiots sending me this..."
It is understood Daley will be advised to keep off Twitter two days before he competes in the individual version of his event on August 10.
