Troubled Life of Champion Diver

Blake Aldridge represented Great Britain in the synchronised diving at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

That was until he swapped the pool for open water. He's now one of the world's top cliff divers. He told Matthew Bannister how his diving career began. Image: Blake Aldridge Credit: Dean Treml
