Get the day's biggest stories sent direct to your inbox so you never miss a thing Adam Peaty has revealed how he'll take the judges comments when he swaps the swimming pool for the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom.

The swimmer was a surprise to fans when he was announced in the line-up of the hit BBC show fresh from his medal-winning stint at the Tokyo Olympics.

Adam, an Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth British swimming champion, made history last month by becoming the first British swimmer to defend an Olympic title, after claiming gold at the Rio 2016 Olympics and Tokyo 2020 in the Men’s 100m Breaststroke.

But the 26-year-old will be ditching his trunks for a sparkly outfit or ten when he makes his Strictly debut this Saturday.
