I feel the Andrew Neil denied access post is unlikely to be true.

I got a hug from Tom Daley about an hour ago at the QF F lounge at LAX. To my embarrassment, I did not even realize who he was as I am not into sports, but obviously I saw him on TV. I said something to him because he was knitting and I used to knit myself. He is such a sweet person.

Is that Tom Daley, the Olympic diver? (Google auto corrected)

Yes, sorry. It was Tom Daley. I was typing from my phone. We are on the same flight. I thought he was a swimmer.🤭 Anyway, I embarrassed myself enough with him.😂 Again, such a sweet guy.

If it's on Youtube...or BBC Iplayer. He did a swim/row/bike ride from London to his home town for the Comic Relief charity. It was utterly awe inspiring - just a great individual. Would love to shake his hand one day
