I opened up recently about my mental health and the side affects of online abuse that many people have to deal with. Trolling has massively improved for me but I see it all the time and it’s awful. You have no idea how it affects people. huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/r…

Last night I attended this wonderful event to support The Hunt Family Fund. It was an emotional incredible evening. The BBC swimming team was out in force to support John & Amy.

Today, Andy and I spoke on @thismorning about the importance of support after miscarriage. 💛 It’s a topic that can feel so isolating, yet so many of us have been through it. We are so lucky we had the support of @Petalscharity.

It is one of the abiding memories of the Beijing Olympic Games 2008... Rebecca Adlington’s face of pure shock as she realised she had won gold 👑 As #Singapore2025 gets underway in the pool, take a trip into swimming history 👇 @Aquatics_GB

Great to see @BeckAdlington & @Coeliac_UK on @BBCBreakfast & @BBCNews this morning talking about gluten free & coeliac disease. This is what we need! Raising awareness is the key to making change happen. Following a gluten free diet for so many is NOT A CHOICE & NOT A FAD!

INTO THE DEEP END OF COVERAGE Byron MacDonald’s knowledge of swimming is extraordinary. He’s called every Olympics for the last 40 years. He explains why the depth of the pool in Paris is making it difficult for swimmers to break records.
