Tom Daley to travel world for new backpacking show
OLYMPIC diving star Tom Daley is swapping backflips for backpacks as he heads around the world for a new TV series.
The bronze medallist and best pal Sophie Lee will be seen jetting off to several tourist hotspots for the ITV2 show.
They will visit countries such as Thailand, Japan, Australia, Morocco and New Zealand during six weeks of travelling.
The 19-year-old, who earlier this year starred in ITV's Splash!, will be seen heading to hostels and taking overnight train journeys as he takes a typical student backpacking trip.
He will also take on challenges such as bungee jumping, as well as meeting up with friends such as Saturdays star Mollie King along the way.
Tom said: “I can t wait to get away on my trip. Diving and training are my first love, but I am looking forward to a break from the norm and discovering more about places I ve never had the chance to explore before.
"And to do it all with my best friend will be amazing.”
ITV director of digital channels Angela Jain said: “Tom s career as a diver has captivated the nation.
"We hope this show will give people the chance to see the teenager behind the trunks as he enjoys his global backpacking adventure."
