Daley comforts Penny Mordaunt after Splash! exit

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.
