Just in case his adoring fans weren't in love with him enough,
Tom Daley has just succeeded in increasing his likeability factor
tenfold.
The Olympic diver made his Twitter followers swoon as he posted an adorable picture of the new addition to his family on the site - a micro pig.
Tom, 18, can be seen cradling the tiny animal in his arms as he smiles widely at the camera - clearly thrilled with his new pet.
The cutest: Tom Daley has shared a picture of himself and his new micro-pig called Robby-Ray
Even though the pint-sized athlete is small himself, the minute pig is dwarfed in his arms.
Along with the photograph of the pig Tom added the caption: 'My pig is called Robby-Ray for those asking :D'.
The piglet would have cost Tom somewhere in the region of £200, and will grow to anything between 16in and 22 inches in height.
But Tom isn't the only celebrity fan of the tiny animals. Other stars thought to have splashed out on the pets to add to their families include Paris Hilton and reportedly David and Victoria Beckham.
The sweetest: Tom also took in a small kitten that he wants his twitter followers to name
Pig
breeder Jane Croft told Mail Online previously: 'People love them. Not
only do they have these incredibly cute faces but, contrary to popular
opinion, they're really clean.
'They're easier to house train than a cat. They're incredibly intelligent.'
She added: 'People have got to know that micro pigs are not fashion accessories.
'I can't bear it when people say, "I want one with more spots" or "I don't like the black ones". Those people don't get one at all.'
Adorable animals: Tom could start a farm if he gets any more cute animals in at his house
Robby-Ray is not the first animal that Daley has taken into his home as he recently acquired a pet kitten.
His feline friend is a girl and Tom asked his followers on Twitter to come up with a good name for the adorable pet.
Meanwhile, the diving champion's now-famous Team GB swimming trunks have gone on display at the Museum Of London from Thursday onwards as part of a London 2012 exhibition.
