In a move that’s making waves across the sports and LGBTQ+ communities, several of Team GB’s top male divers have turned to OnlyFans to help fund their journey to the Paris Olympics. These athletic stars, known for their impressive dives and toned physiques, are now offering fans a more personal glimpse into their lives, charging £8 a month for exclusive content.
Among the six divers on the platform are gold medalist Jack Laugher MBE and Tom Daley’s former dive partner, Noah Williams. Both athletes have begun sharing content on OnlyFans just as they were selected to compete in the upcoming Paris Olympics. Fans willing to subscribe can enjoy a variety of content, including racy videos from Noah, 23, and nude photos of Jack, 29. It’s estimated that these side gigs could potentially bring in thousands of pounds monthly, supplementing their sports funding.
The Financial Strain of Olympic Dreams
Sources within Team GB have revealed to The Sun that the organization’s leadership is quite relaxed about the divers’ OnlyFans ventures, attributing the decision to a broader issue with funding. The rigorous training schedules of these athletes leave little room for traditional jobs, and the financial support they receive often falls short of their needs. “These guys train so hard and there is little time for them to earn money outside the pool. They’re all in incredible shape, and if they can top up their Team GB money in this way, then good luck to them,” said one insider.
The divers’ move to OnlyFans highlights the financial challenges faced by many athletes. Despite their elite status and the prestige of competing at the Olympic level, funding remains a persistent issue. For Jack Laugher, this will be his fourth Olympic Games, while Noah Williams is gearing up for his second. The decision to share intimate content has sparked some controversy but also sheds light on the inadequate financial support for athletes.
A Closer Connection with Fans
OnlyFans has become a platform where these divers can interact more directly with their fan base. Other Team GB divers who have joined the platform include Matty Lee MBE, 26, Daniel Goodfellow, 27, Robbie Lee, 19, and Matthew Dixon, 24. This venture not only provides them with much-needed financial support but also offers fans a unique, behind-the-scenes look at their favorite athletes.
The divers’ presence on OnlyFans isn’t just about financial necessity; it also speaks to the evolving landscape of how athletes can engage with their audiences. By sharing more personal content, they create a deeper connection with fans who are willing to support them in their Olympic journeys.

Support and Controversy
While some may raise eyebrows at the idea of athletes selling intimate content, others see it as a pragmatic response to a flawed system. “It’s needs must for Jack and Noah, and they see posting intimate material as an acceptable way to boost the coffers. It’s not the sort of thing that Team GB would promote, but there’s little that they can do to stop it. And let’s face it, they need the money,” another source commented.
The involvement of these athletes on OnlyFans also reflects broader trends within the LGBTQ+ community, where many individuals have used the platform to gain financial independence and build supportive fan bases. For LGBTQ+ fans, seeing their icons navigate similar platforms can foster a sense of solidarity and support.
The Path to Paris
As the countdown to the Paris Olympics continues, these divers remain focused on their goals, both in and out of the pool. Their OnlyFans accounts are a testament to their dedication and ingenuity in overcoming financial hurdles. With their athletic prowess and new entrepreneurial spirit, Team GB’s divers are diving into the future with determination and flair.
By turning to OnlyFans, these divers not only fund their Olympic dreams but also pave the way for a new kind of athlete-fan relationship, one that is more intimate, supportive, and, indeed, more modern.
