Olympic medallist Daley offered some words of consolation, however, adding: "It's a scary dive, so hard to control. If you asked a professional to do it, so many would tell you where to go."

Former Miss Great Britain Lloyd conquered her demons by taking on the forward pike fall from 5m.

The model, married to Wolves footballer Jamie O'Hara, had initially planned to dive from 7.5m, but had a mishap in training which dented her confidence.

Her simplicity proved her undoing, and judges placed her at the bottom of the leaderboard.

But the public vote propelled her into a play-off place with Mordaunt - the latter replicating her daring but grimace-inducing plunge, with similar results, leaving judges to elect Lloyd.

There was disappointment at the pool and at the polls for MP Penny Mordaunt as she crashed out of ITV diving competition Splash! in spectacular style.

She mistimed her back somersault from 7.5m - twice - leaving reality television regular Dan Osborne and model Danielle Lloyd to sail through.

There were plenty of gasps as Mordaunt went for a fiendishly difficult dive from height.

But the MP for Portsmouth North, wearing a sparkling red one-piece, overcooked her entry and smacked the water.

Judges commended her have-a-go attitude but said the execution fell short.
