Olympics Diver Tom Daley signs up for The X Factor 2012

Team GB Olympics bronze medal winner Tom Daley has reportedly signed up to appear on The X Factor this year.

However, the Team GB pinup boy will not be showcasing his singing talents, but is likely to be helping out with the fitness program of the contestants.

According to The Sun, the young diver could be seen helping out the acts by coaching them to get fit in the gym.

However, Daley is said to be really after a presenting role, after previously admitted he’d love a move into telly.

“All the athletes are keen to be involved. But Tom is keenest by far and he makes a really good match for X Factor’s core audience of teenage girls,” a source told the tabloid today.

The insider explained: “Tom is great on the telly and he’d really like to get involved in all the live shows in some way. Ideas being kicked about at the moment include making him a roving reporter.

“He could take the contestants out and about to film or to be their personal trainer. He’s keen to work with Dermot. He reckons he’s the best in the business.”

But despite The Sun‘s claims, Olympians linked with the show have denied any such talks have taken place.

Track cyclist Sir Chris Hoy took to Twitter recently to claim: “Some amusing stories in press about me being a mentor on X Factor. That’s the first I’ve heard about it.”
