Slow news day? Maybe. But Tom Daley has cooked up a Twitter storm over his use of frying utensil.
England’s most celebrated diver (after Ashley Young) probably had no idea of the mass debate he was about to ignite with his innocent brekkie Instagram snap.
But his full English turned into a full-on furore as folk were taken aback by his game-changing frying pan…
People couldn’t get over the multi-sectional convenience of Daley’s pan, and reacted as if the Olympian had cured cancer or discovered life on Mars…

OK, also, think about cleaning Tom Daley's stupid frying pan. It's not going to fit in a dishwasher.

There was even scrutiny over his breakfast options…

Proud to stand with Tom Daley and his stance on the position of beans within a fry.

Whilst many were slightly perplexed about what was essentially a man making breakfast…
I awoke to see you're all freaking out over a frying pan. Just another day on Twitter really..
