Tom Daley Hosts UK-Wide The Game of Wool Knitting Competition

Channel 4's new competition series, The Game of Wool, hosted by Olympic diver and knitting enthusiast Tom Daley, premieres on November 2, 2025. The show features ten amateur knitters competing in both individual and team challenges to become Britain's Best Knitter, creating a diverse range of woolly projects from clothing to furniture. Judges Di Gilpin and Sheila Greenwell, renowned for their work with major fashion brands, evaluate the contestants' creativity and technique. Courtney Love, a Gloucestershire-based chunky knitter, has her distinctive designs featured on the show, which she hopes will increase exposure for her brand and workshops. Set in rural Scotland, the series celebrates the country's knitting heritage and highlights the social and mental health benefits of the craft. Daley also brings flair to the show with his progressively elaborate knitted outfits, emphasizing his passion for knitting beyond his athletic career.
