A British sports icon looks utterly unrecognisable after he received an incredible drag makeover. The legend was transformed with some heavy make-up and a wig as he dressed up in drag after being given a makeover by Drag Race star Plastique Tiara.

In a video on Plastique’s YouTube channel, he couldn’t believe the makeover: “I still can’t believe this is me!” And he wasn’t the only one left stunned by the results, he looked so unrecognisable that even his husband was blown away by the transformation.

“Oh my God, I’m straight now,” his husband said. “I mean you are f*** beautiful, I don’t understand what’s happening to me, I always knew you were gonna make a beautiful woman but this is exceptional.

The legend in question is none other than Team GB gold medalist Tom Daley, 32, who admitted he fell head over heels when he first clapped eyes with American screenwriter and director Dustin Lance Black, 52, after meeting at a pal’s dinner.

“It was a real love-at-first-sight thing,” he previously told the Observer.

“The first night, I took him to meet my friends and said, ‘This is my boyfriend’. The next night we went on our first date. The next night he asked me to be his boyfriend. The night after that, after a couple of lychee martinis, he told me he loved me.”

The loved-up pair spent four years together before tying the knot in 2017 – celebrating their ninth wedding anniversary earlier this year with some unseen snaps from the celebration.

And since their wedding, the pair have welcomed two children, with both boys born via surrogate. Despite their two-decade age gap, Daley insists it has never been an issue for the couple: “One hundred percent.

“It’s funny because the people that know us know that I’m the more mature person that kind of runs the show in the house. As we get older, I think we both align very well on what we want to achieve.

“We’re both really big dreamers. I think that was the biggest thing for us, that we’re both so supportive of each other.

“We don’t limit the other person’s dreams. We really make each other feel like we can achieve whatever we set our minds to.”

Daley retired from diving after the Paris Olympics in 2024, where he claimed silver in the 10m synchro.
