'One contestant makes wool vulvas!' Tom Daley on his new knitting show – and pushing for Traitors resurrections

Tom Daley has embarked on a new journey as the host of Channel 4's The Game of Wool, where contestants compete in knitting challenges under intense time pressure. What makes this show intriguing is not only the competition itself but also Tom's personal goal: showcasing his outfits, which will become increasingly interesting throughout the series.

For Tom, being a model was an exciting experience, but he feels he has "missed the boat" at 31. His focus now lies in knitting, which he discovered during lockdown as a hobby to calm him down after his intense athletic career. As part of this journey, Tom collaborated with his husband, Dustin Lance Black, who is also involved in producing TV projects.

Tom's passion for knitting is not just about the skills but also about sharing the benefits it brings – like reducing stress and encouraging people to sit still in an increasingly digital world. He hopes that through The Game of Wool and a YouTube channel showcasing beginner-friendly projects, he can inspire others to take up this calming craft.

However, Tom's experience with Celebrity Traitors has given him a unique perspective on contestants' reactions under pressure, which makes his journey all the more compelling. His competitive nature is evident in both his athletic career and now in knitting competitions.

One of the most fascinating aspects of The Game of Wool is its judges' diverse backgrounds, including Sheila Greenwell's design for La Fetiche's avant-garde knitwear to Stephanie's anatomically correct vulvas. This diversity not only reflects the complexity of human creativity but also adds a layer of interest in the contestants' approaches.

Tom Daley's transformation from an elite athlete to a knitting advocate showcases his ability to pivot and find new passions that bring him joy and fulfillment. As he continues on this journey, it remains to be seen how The Game of Wool will evolve into something even more captivating – perhaps with Tom becoming known as the "Joe Sticks" of wool, bringing knitting back to the masses.
 
🤔 I'm curious about Tom Daley's new venture, but I wish he wouldn't have been so open about feeling like he's "missed the boat".

I'm not buying all this hype around Tom Daley's new show 🤔. Don't get me wrong, I love a good competition, but is it really necessary to make it so dramatic with the whole pressure thing? And what's up with the outfits? Is he just trying to be a fashion icon too? 😂 I mean, I've seen some weird stuff on The Game of Thrones, but this takes the cake (or should I say, the knitted scarf?) 🍰. And while I appreciate Tom's enthusiasm for knitting, I'm not sure it's going to translate to masses... unless he starts giving away free knitting lessons or something 🤷‍♂️.
