Tom and his best friend Sophie are taking off to Thailand on the first leg of their adventure – backpacking virgins who hope to experience a little bit of everything for the first time.

Will Tom skydive? / Credit: ITVOf course he will! / Credit: ITVThe journey isn’t all fun and games though, and proves to be a rude awakening for Tom as he’s daced with budget accommodation, foreign languages and a sleeper train with holes for toilets – far from the travelling he’s done with his diving team.

Tom Daley Goes Global premieres on ITV2, Thursday April 10.
