Tom Daley has shared a picture of himself and his new micro-pig called Robby-Ray Even though the pint-sized athlete is small himself, the minute pig is dwarfed in his arms.

Just in case his adoring fans weren't in love with him enough, Tom Daley has just succeeded in  increasing his likeability factor tenfold.

The Olympic diver made his Twitter followers swoon as he posted an adorable picture of the new addition to his family on the site - a micro pig.

Tom, 18, can be seen cradling the tiny animal in his arms as he smiles widely at the camera - clearly thrilled with his new pet.

The cutest: Tom Daley has shared a picture of himself and his new micro-pig called Robby-Ray

Even though the pint-sized athlete is small himself, the minute pig is dwarfed in his arms.

Along with the photograph of the pig Tom added the caption: 'My pig is called Robby-Ray for those asking :D'.

The piglet would have cost Tom somewhere in the region of £200, and will grow to anything between 16in and 22 inches in height.
But Tom isn't the only celebrity fan of the tiny animals. Other stars thought to have splashed out on the pets to add to their families include Paris Hilton and reportedly David and Victoria Beckham.

The sweetest: Tom also took in a small kitten that he wants his twitter followers to name

Pig breeder Jane Croft told Mail Online previously: 'People love them. Not only do they have these incredibly cute faces but, contrary to popular opinion, they're really clean.

'They're easier to house train than a cat. They're incredibly intelligent.'

She added: 'People have got to know that micro pigs are not fashion accessories.

'I can't bear it when people say, "I want one with more spots" or "I don't like the black ones". Those people don't get one at all.'

Adorable animals: Tom could start a farm if he gets any more cute animals in at his house

Robby-Ray is not the first animal that Daley has taken into his home as he recently acquired a pet kitten.

His feline friend is a girl and Tom asked his followers on Twitter to come up with a good name for the adorable pet.
Meanwhile, the diving champion's now-famous Team GB swimming trunks have gone on display at the Museum Of London from Thursday onwards as part of a London 2012 exhibition.

Matt Henry and Leanne Jarvis sing their hearts out on the blind audition of The Voice - set to air on Saturday evening

Sparks fly between coaches Jessie J and Will.i.am as they squabble over contestants as The Voice returns this weekend.
During the first edition of the show, the pair are embroiled in a heated exchange after Jessie takes exception to the Black Eyed Peas star chipping in while she is trying to entice a hopeful to her team.
The programme returns on Saturday night for the first round of auditions in which the coaches choose the wannabes they would like on their team.

 Hopefuls:  Matt Henry and Leanne Jarvis sing their hearts out on the blind audition of The Voice - set to air on Saturday evening

But Jessie accuses Will of siding with fellow judge Danny O'Donoghue and claims that he is continually trying to stop the contestants from choosing her. In the show the coaches often have to go head-to-head to persuade the best entrants they should join their roster.
At one stage, Jessie grumbles: 'He never wants people to pick me.'
The dispute led to fellow panellist Sir Tom Jones wading in to sort out the argument after an audition was over.

Guitarist: Danny County takes to the stage in a cap and rather unusual shirt

Singing her heart out: Kirsty Crawford shows the judges what she is made of

Jessie moaned: 'I think it's unfair to influence them on their decisions.'
But Will defended his decision to offer his view when a contestant seemed unable to make a decision between Jessie and O'Donoghue.
He said: 'They asked for my help - it's not passing out cookies.
'I think I did the right thing because he obviously couldn't make a decision.'

Getting ready for fame: Will Ash Morgan impress with his voice?

Sultry: Former Bluecoat Katie Benbow goes vintage for the audition while  Louis Coupe relies on the power of his voice

Jessie looked stony-faced after the heated exchange following an audition by 22-year-old Danny County from London.
Former '90s singers Kavana and Cleo Higgins from Cleopatra are among the 'has-been' pop stars trying their luck for a second chance of chart fame.

Star gazer: Mike Ward also appears in the first episode of The Voice, hoping to impress

Second shot at fame: '90s singer Kavana and Hear'Say's Danny Foster are auditionees on the new series of The Voice

Scrapping: Sir Tom Jones, Danny O'Donoghue, Jessie J and Will.i.am are back (pictured here last May)

Hear'say's Danny Foster, who found fame on reality show Popstars in 2001, is also an auditionee, as well as soul singer Nate James, who was nominated for two MOBO Awards in 2005.
The foursome's inclusion on the show has prompted questions whether former pop stars should be allowed to audition.
Anthony Kavana, 35, released two albums in the late '90s and had a No.8 single with I Can Make You Feel Good.

Back in the day: Danny with his Hear'Say bandmates Kym Lomas, Myleene Klass, Noel Sullivan and Suzanne Shaw in 2001

Earlier this month, he tweeted he had been on the show, but was 'gutted' after failing to progress past the blind audition.
He wrote: 'Few things, I need to get off my chest...you'll see me on TV soon. On The Voice, BBC One. I didn't get through, but I gave it a good go.'
Since his pop career failed to make the impact he hoped, he has been songwriting and acting and was a runner-up in TV talent show Grease Is The Word in 2007.
However, Kavana isn't wasting too much time moping after losing out on The Voice, he's landed the lead role in The Sword And The Dope at London's Courtyard Theatre.

Remember me? Cleo Higgins (left), who found fame with her sisters Yonah (centre) and Zainam (right), auditions

Hear'Say singer Danny, 33, found fame on ITV talent show Popstars in 2001 when he was selected to be in the group alongside Kym Lomas, Myleene Klass, Noel Sullivan and Suzanne Shaw.
After the group disbanded in 2002 after 18 months together, Danny has been seen in reality shows The Games and Trust Me - I'm A Beauty Therapist.
Meanwhile, Cleo, 30, is performing without her sisters and Cleopatra bandmates Yonah and Zainam.

Critics choice: Soul singer Nate James failed to make a big impact on the charts in the mid Noughties

The three Mancunians burst onto the pop scene in 1998 with their debut single Cleopatra's Theme.
They enjoyed four top five UK singles and starred in two series of their own sitcom Cleopatra Comin' Atcha and Cleopara In The House on CITV.
Meanwhile, Nate, 33, is a more recent name, having arrived on the music scene in 2005 with his debut album Set The Tone.
Despite critical acclaim and award wins, his singles and albums failed to make much of an impact on the charts.

We're coming back! The Voice judges Sir Tom Jones, Jessie J, will.i.am and Danny O'Donoghue

The second series of The Voice begins on BBC1 on Saturday at 7pm.

Imogen Thomas strips off for a spray tan at her London home

Since becoming a first-time mother to daughter Ariana in six weeks ago, Imogen Thomas doesn't have as much time to herself as she's used to.
So what better way for a busy mum to keep up with her beauty regime by employing a therapist to come to her house.
The Welsh model, 30, was clearly keen to have a tan for the wintry Easter weekend, so hired a spray tan technician to come to her.

Tanning queen: Imogen Thomas strips off for a spray tan at her London home

With her baby sleeping, Imogen stripped down to her knickers and donned a fetching shower cap as she was sprayed with a faux glow.
Posting a photo of her semi-naked on Twitter, she wrote: 'Just had a lush @fakebakeukltd tan at home!! All Ready for Easter celebrations #baked ;-).'
Imogen's decision to post the half-naked shot comes after she admitted she was having body image issues.
The former Big Brother contestant gave birth via Caesarean section so is only just able to start working out again.

Loving motherhood: Imogen out with her daughter Ariana in London last week

She is hoping to regain her size 10 figure by the summer so she can resume her modelling career.
She wrote in her Star magazine column this week: 'I just feel like nothing looks nice on me and I just cover up with baggy clothes.
'The doctors said I had to wait six weeks before exercising after my c-section.
'I'll soon be eating a lot healthier and power-walking - I'm determined to get back into my size 10 jeans.'
Meanwhile, Imogen has defended recent photos of cuddle her daughter so close to chemicals while getting her highlights done.
She said: 'I don't care what anyone says, getting pampered makes me feel like a whole new woman - and (boyfriend) Adam loves it.'

The heavily pregnant star opted for comfort in the dressed down bright ensemble for a shopping trip on Wednesday

She's heavily pregnant with her second child so it's no wonder Jessica Simpson is starting to dress for comfort.

The singer stepped out in Beverly Hills on Wednesday for a spot of retail therapy with a friend.

And she was certainly not going to go unnoticed thanks to her vibrant choice of outfit.

Simpson stood out in baggy turquoise jogging bottoms, which she matched with brightly coloured green New Balance trainers.

Like that colour? Jessica Simpson goes for turquoise overload with green jogging bottoms and bright trainers

But while the trousers detracted some what from her blooming bump, Jessica still looked heavily pregnant with her black T-shirt and loose jacket.
The 32-year-old looked healthy and relaxed as she finished off her look with her blonde locks worn down and poker straight.
And lucky enough to be in the bright sunshine she shielded her eyes from the rays with large shades.

Get anything nice? Jessica enjoyed an afternoon of shopping at Ralph Lauren with her girl pal

Definitely not incognito: She stood out in the bright ensemble as he no doubt stocked up on more maternity wear

Simpson was joined by a girl pal as they both headed to the Ralph Lauren store.
And it had obviously been a successful shopping trip as the girls then re-emerged from the shop loaded with bags.
Happy with their purchases they put all the bags in the boot of their car before heading off back home together.

Day out: She walked around in the sunshine showing off her bump in a black T-shirt

Despite being heavily pregnant, Jessica is still continuing to work.
It was only last week that she promoted her Jessica Simpson Girl's Collection in Charlotte, North Carolina.
But it was her adorable daughter who stole the show.

Getting bigger! Jessica is due to give birth to her second child this summer and looks bigger by the day

More clothes: The star enjoyed some down time as she stocked up on ever more outfits for her growing wardrobe

Jessica, 32, waited until the end of the event to introduce her 10-month-old golden-haired tot to the welcoming audience, placing Maxwell on the table between her and sister Ashlee.
Maxwell immediately livened things up with her cherubic grin and wide-eyed enthusiasm.
Jessica hasn't named her due date but has hinted that she and fiance Eric Johnson will be having a summer baby.

Devin Velez was eliminated from Thursday's American Idol, leaving just three male contestants remaining

There hasn't been a female American Idol winner since Jordin Sparks's victory back in 2007. 
But the chances of a girl triumphing this year improved when Devin Velez was eliminated from the contest on Thursday.

Now only two male contestants remain when the judges refused to save him, despite an impassioned final performance.

Down and out: Devin Velez was eliminated from Thursday's American Idol, leaving just three male contestants remaining

Devin's emotional last-ditch performance to stay reduced Mariah Carey to tears but it wasn't enough and only seven contestants are left - five women and two men.

And if the experts are to be believed, the men have very little chance of winning this season unless they get a lot better, quickly.
Legendary music producer and show mentor Jimmy Iovine is among those who think the men stand very little chance.

Singing for the save: Devin made a last ditch attempt to stay in the contest, singing Somos Novios (It’s Impossible) in both English and Spanish.

Show of support: Devin was cheered on in his final performance by the remaining Idol wannabes

Emotional: Mariah Carey wiped away tears at watching Devin leave the contest

Early on the broadcast of the 450th episode of the hit Fox show, he rated the performances from Wednesday night's show, when the contestants sang Motown hits.
And he was scathing about the boys' efforts after they sang together on one track.

'I guess we have a new boy band in town and this one's called Wrong Direction,' he joked. 'This was terrible. What we found out tonight is the difference between the women and the boys.'
Predicting Lazaro Arbos would go home, he added: 'After last night's performances I would say the boys are in the bottom three.'

Three men in a boat: Lazaro Arbos and Burnell Taylor joined Devin in the bottom three

Chance for a save? Ryan Seacrest stood by a nervous Devin as the judges decided whether to use their one save

The moment of truth: Keith Urban and Randy Jackson whispered behind Nicki Minaj, but a viewer vote was against the judges saving Devin

Fortunately for Lazaro, he and Burnell Taylor just scraped through - but only after all five girls learned they were safe.

'In no particular order, the first person who is safe is Kree Harrison,' said host Ryan Seacrest as he began to reveal the results.
Kree's triumph was no surprise after the 22-year-old had earlier received a recorded message from soul legend Aretha Franklin, praising her cover of Don't Play That Song, made famous by Aretha when she released it in 1970. 

Difficult moment: Mariah looked upset at the news of Devin's elimination

Standing ovation: All the judges bar Minaj stood up in a show of support for Devin

Last night's guest mentor Smokey Robinson had previously told the wannabes that he would get Aretha to watch the show.
Aretha said in a voice recording: 'Hi Kree, it's Aretha Franklin. How are you? Saw you last evening. Loved it. Smokey was right.
'You put that one away and you're not going anywhere. I know you're going to be around.
'Much love to you. Take care. God bless.'
A shocked Kree appeared to be wiping away tears after hearing from the queen of soul, and was equally thrilled at being told she would be put through.

Tribute from the queen of soul: Aretha Franklin recorded a segment praising Kree Harrison's performance on Wednesday

In shock: Kree was quite overcome at hearing the tribute from her idol

I don't know if you saw that at home,' said Seacrest. 'But Kree just jumped for joy and hit the ground with enthusiasm and excitement.'
Kree then took off her sparkly heels to make sure it didn't happen again.
Candice Glover, 23, was next to find out she was safe, before 23-year-old Janelle Arthur and Angie Miller, 18, discovered they would be staying on the show.

Put through: Angie Miller was thrilled to hear her name called to safety

Overjoyed: Country singer Janelle Arthur couldn't contain her excitement at the news she'd made it

Come on through to the other side: Amber Holcomb was helped to sit with the other female contestants who had been put through

Then it was the turn of 18-year-old Amber Holcomb - meaning one of the boys was almost certainly going home.

Mariah said: 'I'm sitting here nervous and praying. I just don't want to see them leave.'
Devin, 18, Burnell, 19, and 21-year-old Lazaro anxiously lined up to discover their fate.

They were told that the person with the least votes could technically stay in the show - but only if the judges unanimously decided to use their one save of the season and keep them on.

Still in the game: Candice Glover looked shocked at hearing her name called out to join the rest of the female contestants

First man standing: Burnell Taylor was welcomed by the girls when his name was called

Through by a whisker: Lazaro Arbos only just made it to next week after Jimmy predicted his departure

Seacrest revealed that Burnell was safe - before dropping the bombshell: 'After nearly 26 million votes, the person at risk of elimination is Devin. 'Lazaro you are safe.'
The pair hugged before Lazaro joined the others - and Devin was forced to sing to be saved. On Wednesday night he had impressed Smokey Robinson by singing Tracks of My Tears. But he seemed to struggle to find an audience among the voters.
Devin, wearing a dapper red jacket, then sang It's Impossible by crooner Perry Como - as an emotional Mariah Carey wiped away tears.

The girls have it: Candice, Janelle, Amber, Angie and Kree have consistently wowed the judges in the contest

Not such a hit: The boys performance on Wednesday night went down badly with the judges

Critical: Music mentor Jimmy Iovine said the boys should be called the Wrong Direction

He then started singing the rest of the song in Spanish - until reverting to English for the last line.
'Devin, singing for his life,' said Ryan Seacrest. 'Randy, on behalf of the judges, will you use your save?'
As the audience chanted, 'Save, save, save', Randy said: 'Honestly, Ryan, for us, unfortunately, it is not unanimous. We're not going to use it.'
Mariah Carey was clearly struggling not to cry and Keith Urban held his head in his hands as Randy made the announcement.

'I've got to say thank you. You guys are the real people,' said a smiling Devin as he watched a replay tape of his best moments.

Duet: OneRepublic welcomed former Idol contestant and actress Katherine McPhee to sing a new version of their single If I Lose Myself

Toned tummy: Katharine flashed the flesh in black trousers and a cropped leather top

Back to her roots: Katharine competed on Idol in season six, finishing runner up to Taylor Hicks

He fought back tears as his fellow finalists joined him to offer their support.

And while Nicki Minaj remained seated the other three judges stood to applaud him.
The night kicked off with a rendition of Detroit rocker Bob Seger's 1979 hit, Old Time Rock and Roll by the final eight hopefuls - with the five girls easily out-singing the remaining three boys.

And earlier, the tables were turned on judge Keith Urban - when he got up to sing himself.

Returning so soon? Season 11 finalist Colton Dixon returned to premiere his new Christian music single, Love Has Come for Me.

Hugging it out: Colton embraced contestant Angie who had performed a cover of one of his songs earlier in the season

'Not only is he a member of our Idol family, he is also a country music powerhouse. Tonight, he rocks the stage, ' said Seacrest as he sat in Keith's chair at the judge's table while introducing the star.

Looking energised and happy, he sang his hit, Long Hot Summer - and a smiling Mariah Carey held up a handwritten sign that read '#1 Keith Fan'.
'Thanks for that treat. Very cool,' said Seacrest, adding jokingly 'Let's go to the judges.'

'You're through to Hollywood,' laughed Randy Jackson.

Showing them how it's done: Keith Urban took the stage to give an impressive performance of his recent hit Long Hot Summer

Rocking out the house: The country singer's fellow judges were thrilled with his performance

The night also saw a performance by Colton Dixon, who came seventh in season 11 of Idol last year - but has since had a number one album in the US.

'He joins the long list of Idol stars who have become dominating figures in the music industry,' said Seacrest before Colton sang new single, Love Has Come For Me.

Colton joked that he wasn't nervous - because there was no chance he would finish in the bottom three.
And he came face to face with Angie Miller - who covered one of his songs in an earlier episode. 
'It was so surreal. She did a great job,' he said, before the pair hugged. '[She] killed it.'

Show of support: The judges along with Seacrest cheered Keith on from the sidelines

Number one fan: Mariah held up a homemade sign as the judges gave Keith a standing ovation

Famous fans: Keith sang his latest song before promoting his upcoming tour

Rockers OneRepublic also performed their single If I Lose Myself - with a little help from another Idol friend, Katharine McPhee, who was the season five runner-up in 2006.

Katharine - in a belly-baring cropped top - began singing her part while sitting with the finalists before joining the band on stage.

The night also saw the hopefuls perform a new 'mission' segment by teaming up with sponsors, Ford.
Their first mission was 'The Gift of the Song', and they went to a primary school to mentor the pupils how to sing.

The last song: The remaining Idol contestants looked sombre as they watched Devin perform for the final time
