Olympic diver Tom Daley has admitted that Harry Styles would probably beat him in a pulling contest.

The sportsman has gained a lot of fans since starring at London 2012 and he recently won Attitude magazine's sexiest man in the world accolade.

However, he told The Sun that One Direction star Styles would probably be more popular with the ladies than him. Daley said:

"Harry would obviously beat me in a pulling competition. I wouldn't stand a chance."

Those left trailing in Daley's wake in the Attitude poll meanwhile included One Direction singer Zayn Malik, who came fifth in the list.

Second was David Beckham, whilst the bronze medal went to Man of Steel actor Henry Cavill.
