Tom Daley’s Knitting Show: Wooly Vulvas & Wool Fun

Olympic diver & TV presenter Tom Daley is swapping the diving board for the knitting needles in his new show, The Game of Wool: Britain’s Best Knitter, arriving on Channel 4 this November. Daley reveals that one contestant in the competitive craft series even knitted anatomically accurate vulvas as part of their challenge, highlighting the bold and playful creativity the show encourages. 

Aside from showcasing unexpected wool creations, Daley talks about his experience on the reality series Celebrity Traitors—in which he was eliminated early—and suggests he’d like a “resurrection” twist added to the format. 

Daley also reflects on his personal journey into knitting: what began as a lockdown hobby turned into crafting chandeliers, scarves and now a full-blown TV role. He hopes the show will inspire a new audience to pick up yarn and needles—and maybe swap screen time for some calm, creative craft time.
