There was a lovely story recently that the French course at Edinburgh University had filled up in record time with 18 year old girls this year as it was rumoured that he was going there to study French. This, despite the fact that he was on a gap year and had taken Spanish, not French, at A level. Obviously a good marketing ploy by someone at Edinburgh!
When I briefly met him at the 2012 UK Diving Championships, he was setting up some music on his phone to chill out to while waiting for his dive. He took out his earphones, put his phone away and gave me his full attention as an individual. He is one of the nicest (and talented) people you will ever meet. He will be in the news today and I hope that he will be supported in his new relationship. He has found a place where he is happy and I for one wish him all the best.
