It means so much to be European champion again with a personal best and I couldn’t have asked for anything more.

I think the real reason for my improvement is because I had such a long period in the off-season just working as hard as I could on all my new dives; making sure I did lots of repetition to get them consistent.

Obviously in 2008 it was 538 (to win an Olympic gold) and most of my scores have been over that this year.

Of course I still fancy girls but right now I'm dating a guy and I couldn't be happier.

Training hasn't been consistent for the last week or so which was a bit annoying, but going into the competition I just had to get myself into the right mind frame.

I didn't look at any of the newspapers, I look at the pictures sometimes, but apart from that I don't read them.

There are some great divers in Europe and I'm really excited about going to Eindhoven.
