BBC TV diving pundit

Professional solo and synchro diver, and regular BBC pundit, Tonia represented Team GB in three Olympic Games, always making the finals and finishing in the top five in both London 2012 and Rio 2016. Since retiring, she has become one of the leading diving experts on television, providing analysis for BBC TV at the Paris 2024 and the Commonwealth Games.

In 2002, she became the youngest girl ever to qualify for the lottery funded Junior Olympic Programme before going on to become Britain’s most successful female diver of all time, a title she still holds.

During her competitive career, she competed in 12 world championships, was European Champion, four-times British Champion and claimed silver in the Commonwealth Games. Known online for her fitness and beauty tips, Tonia loves all things sport-related, is a qualified beauty therapist and loves spending time with her young son Hunter as well as long walks with her dog Nanook.
