Team GB star Jack Laugher – who rakes it in on OnlyFans – wins incredible bronze medal in Paris Olympics diving

JACK LAUGHER can offer up some shiny new content on his OnlyFans – after securing his fourth Olympics medal.

But he must split the bragging rights at home after matching his fellow diving girlfriend Lois Toulson, who landed the 10m synchro bronze with Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix on Wednesday.

The Yorkshireman, 29, won the men’s 3m springboard synchronised diving with Chris Mears at Rio 2016.

He also earned 3m individual silver at Rio and then bronze at Tokyo.

And here in Paris, alongside new partner and Olympic debutant Anthony Harding, Laugher sealed another bronze in style.

Laugher has been boosting his below-average salary by posting snaps of his shredded body on subscription site OnlyFans in the build-up to Paris.

Prior to this summer’s Games, he revealed: “Just like most Olympic sports, there isn’t a lot of money in diving.

“We’ve all just seen Wimbledon. The prize pot for winning that is extraordinary. If you go out in the first round you get more than I make in a whole year as a funded athlete.

“When I was younger, my dad would say ‘if you win an Olympic gold medal, that’s worth £1m’.

“But it’s not. It’s nowhere near that – and I can tell you that as someone who HAS got an Olympic gold medal.

“The funding hasn’t changed since I went on in 2011. So when I first went on, it was £21,000 for the top eight in the world. And at the time, as a 16-year-old, I was buzzing with that.

“I’m almost 30 now, I’m top three in the world, and it is £28,000 a year, which is obviously a very good salary and it’s a very liveable one.

“But it’s not a commonly perceived sporting salary, as it were.

“So yes, I try and make extra money. I’ll do anything to hustle for some more.”

Laugher will no doubt earn a whole new wave of new paying followers – after making a splash in the diving pool.

The confident star is happy showing off his athlete’s physique, and isn’t shy about his OnlyFans endeavour.

He said: “Obviously, I’ve got something people want, and I’ll happily cash in on that – I don’t care.

“I have done other side-hustles. I’ve done underwear modelling calendars. I’ve done other bits and bobs to try and just make some more cash basically.

“Of course I understand the way it’s perceived, I get it. I understand that people might look at it negatively.

‘I’VE ALWAYS LIKED MODELLING’

“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 and I’m not trying to put anyone in a bad light and not kind of make myself out to be something I’m not.

“It’s just I’ve always liked modelling. I’m about a foot too short to be a proper underwear model, probably about five out of 10 missing on the scale of how good-looking I am as well.

“But I’ve always liked doing it. I like to show myself off and that’s what I’m doing but this way I can just make myself a little bit of cash and set myself up for the future a bit better.”

With all eight pairs starting with the same two simple dives, 2023 world silver medallists Laugher and Harding were second behind the runaway Chinese.

But they went on the offensive with a string of more difficult dives than the heavy favourites China, who blundered slightly in their third dive.

That left the door ajar for the Team GB duo to close the gap to just five points at the midway point.

But Laugher and Harding couldn’t quite capitalise on another less-than-perfect attempt from China’s Long Daoyi and Wang Zongyuan in round four.

And they slipped down to third thanks to a stunning effort from Mexican duo Juan Celaya and Osmar Olvera.

Then it was time for the Great British showstopper.

Their fifth dive was a forward two-and-a-half somersaults three twists routine – with a staggering 3.9 difficulty rating.

Only the Brits and the Mexicans even attempted the ambitious effort in the final.

It was high risk, high reward as the judges scored it with an 85.41 to put the pressure back on Mexico – who immediately responded with an 84.36 of their own.

That was enough to overtake GB again – but not enough to retain their lead as China went back to the top of the leaderboard with one round remaining.

A bronze was virtually in the bag as Laugher and Harding led the Italians by 14.58 points going into round six – and Lorenzo Marsaglia and Giovanni Tocci only scored 74.10 in their last go.

Gold, though, was out of the question as China saved their best until last with a sensational 95.76 points that put them beyond reach and made it four golds from four for the Chinese at Paris 2024 so far.

It was then time for the Brits, who did all they could with a wonderful effort in the forward four-and-a-half somersaults.

They instantly knew it was very good, embracing as soon as they got out of the pool as Tom Daley roared on from the stands.

And the cheer that went up when their 94.62 score was announced was electric.

GB were in provisional silver and Mexico needed to deliver on the very last dive of the competition – their 3.9 difficulty effort.

But they did exactly that as Celaya and Olvera responded with an emphatic 94.77, forcing Laugher and Harding back into third.
