The rivals in ITV’s diving show have shocked bosses by being more competitive about the size of their swim gear than the pool entries.
OLYMPIC boxer Anthony Ogogo and Benidorm actor Jake Canuso are getting their knickers in a twist over whose trunks will make the biggest Splash!
Anthony wore bronze trunks in Week One and plans to wear a pair of snazzy silver ones for tonight’s semi-finals.
Now Jake wants the trunks he is wearing to be made smaller — but with padded fabric. When Anthony found out, he requested the same.
A source said: “It started out as a fashion war, but now they seem more worried about whose lunchbox has the biggest banana in it.
“They’ll have so much padding, it will be fun to see if it all stays in when they hit the water.”
Meanwhile, fellow contestant Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards has admitted he doesn’t care if his outfit falls off.
The former UK Olympic ski-jumper said: “It would be funny if it floated to the top and I got out naked.”
They join funnyman Omid Djalili, presenter Charlotte Jackson and TV interior designer Linda Barker in the semi-final at 7pm.
The four who make next Saturday’s final will get to dive with Tom Daley in a new synchronised section.
