Olympic gold medalist Tom Daley's BBC documentary Surrogacy is no longer happening, it's been confirmed.

First announced in 2018, the one-off special would have seen Tom exploring how surrogacy operates in the UK, comparing the situation with that in the US state of California

Never mind, more time for the knitting and mascara application.

PicklesAndTequila · 19/01/2023 17:56

Good.
I'm not a fan of his.

Probablymagrat · 19/01/2023 17:59

Good, I can't stand him.

Oblomov22 · 19/01/2023 18:00

Eh? They already have a child, surrogate in 2018? The plan to have another not going ahead now?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 19/01/2023 18:05

Oh no, what a shame, how sad that he can't push his pro surrogacy propaganda on the TV.

It could be a great documentary if it was presented by someone who was less involved. There is no reason why Tom should not be interviewed but he and his husband so have a track record here, they arranged their surrogacy on California as they were not happy with UK laws.

He certainly knows what a woman is when he wants a baby.

This!

I was hoping he would explain that, although TWAW, in some situations, they just aren't and only a biological woman will fit the criteria.

I wonder how this would sit with him? I find the whole situation so confusing.

Florissant · 19/01/2023 18:51

And nothing of value was lost.

Hoardasurass · 19/01/2023 18:53

Good. I can't stand that man or the way he pushes using women as human incubators which ties in nicely with his twaw mantra as we're just bodies to be used for validation and breeding to him

Good, he has plenty to say on womens rights and none of it supportive to women. After using a woman as an incubator he also uses his own mother for childcare so knows what sex mothers are really.

Cuppasoupmonster · 19/01/2023 19:22

Good, he can fuck off. I don’t want to see him fanning his ‘tears’ as he accepts ‘awards’ for how brave he was to make a program about paying a disadvantaged woman to carry a baby for him.

Lol!

EpicChaos · 19/01/2023 19:34

Other than him knowing what women are when he wants a new accessory, which is more than grating enough, this thing about him knitting and how special it makes him, does he not know, that boys were all taught how to knit? He's nothing new and nothing special, beyond his diving abilities, if you like that sort of sport.
In any case, imo, anyone denying the existence of women as a class on their own, should not be allowed to use surrogates. If we don't exist, don't expect to use our bodies!

Quite. He does indeed. As do all of the people claiming a tw is a women. They wouldn't accept a tw in this situation would they.

teawamutu · 19/01/2023 20:23

Had he lost the invoice or something?

Thesonglastslonger · 19/01/2023 21:30

Hopefully no women would agree to be interviewed by him.

What a nasty and tragic thing to try to make money from.

britneybitch23 · 19/01/2023 22:14

Didn't know this about him. What a prick.

WickedSerious · 20/01/2023 15:26

Great stuff,the less I see of that little twerp the better.

ElbowsToes · 27/04/2023 14:32

I noted the case involved a woman being the victim.

waterbabys · 27/04/2023 14:35

Yes they're having a second child via surrogacy. Daleys husband threw a drink over a woman in soho, unprovoked apparently. She then slapped him. Seems like drunken nonsense.
