Has Tom Daley found his synchronized diving partner for Rio 2016?

The Olympic bronze medallist is preparing for another crack on the big stage next year - and will hope to improve on his showing in London in 2012.

And as he continued his training at the London Aquatics Centre, he was joined by Gary Lineker.

The Match of the Day host posed for a poolside snap and took to Instagram to reveal all.

He said: "Great that @tomdaley1994 has found a new synchro partner. Resemblance is uncanny. #tomdaley is on the left."

Daley himself has announced he is launching his own diving academy in the search of Britain's next Olympic hopeful.

He said: 'Manchester was the obvious choice. It's a renowned sporting city and this is a fantastic facility.

"I have lots of memories from when I was younger diving here, in National Championships doing my first 10m competition.

"So it's to great to have solid base for diving here now.

"And hopefully in five or 10 years time Manchester will be producing some of the best divers in the world.'
