Three-time Olympic medallist Jack Laugher is posting photographs of himself on the adult content site OnlyFans “for some more money”.
Laugher, who is from Harrogate and went to Ripon Grammar School, became Britain’s first Olympic diving champion at Rio 2016.
He receives funding largely from the profits of the National Lottery, but is topping up his earnings on OnlyFans – although his personal page stresses there will be no full-frontal nudity images of him.
“Just like most Olympic sports, there isn’t a lot of money in diving,” Laugher told several national newspapers.
“I’ll do anything to hustle for some more money. It’s a really, really good way for me to make some extra cash and just try and set myself up for the future a little bit.
“I understand the way it’s perceived. I get it. But I know what I’m doing. I’m comfortable with what I’m doing. It clearly states on my profile there is no nudity.”
The British Olympic Association declined to comment when contacted by the PA news agency.
