Meet Tom Daley’s 'Rumored' 18-Month Fling, Edward William

OLYMPIC diving star Tom Daley had a secret 18-month affair with a male model while his fiancé was away. 

Tom, 22, enjoyed a string of “purely physical” liaisons with 6ft 6in Edward William, 27, after the pair swapped intimate messages online. Brit model Ed began chatting online with Tom after a chance meeting in the street in 2014. 

Our source said: “They live near each other in London and caught each other’s eye."

“Ed said the messages Tom sent would say things like, ‘I’m home and horny, can you come round?’ “Others would say, ‘Lance is away, are you going to be about?’” 

Ed is believed to have told his friends about their meetings and their relationship became an open secret among sections of the local gay community. 

The insider said: “Ed told them it was a purely physical relationship with not much emotion involved.  

“He said Tom was very confident and forward with a huge sex drive.”(theSun)
