Diving champion Tom Daley had reportedly been having a 'purely physical' relationship with male model, Edward William, for 18 months behind his fiancé Dustin Lance Black's back.
Ed and Tom apparently began speaking online after originally meeting back in 2014.
A source told the The Sun: "They live near each other in London and caught each other’s eye.
"Ed obviously knew who Tom was, and was single at the time, so sent him a message."
At first apparently Ed was invited over for a barbecue and to spent time at Tom and Dustin's flat as a friend, however it is then said that Tom invited him over when Dustin was away.
According to The Sun, the source explained: "Ed said the messages Tom sent would say things like, ‘I’m home and horny, can you come round?’ Others would say, ‘Lance is away, are you going to be about?’"
The insider then continued: "Ed told them it was a purely physical relationship with not much emotion involved.
"He said Tom was very confident and forward with a huge sex drive."
This comes after the newspaper reported last month that Tom had been involved in online sex sessions with a fan from Liverpool, but this had taken place when he and Dustin had been on a break, and Dustin new the full story. Tom explained: "We don't have secrets."
Despite Tom and Ed's reported affair ending in 2015, it is also claimed that the pair have been in contact recently however the source has revealed: "Tom has been in touch but Ed is not interested as he is with someone else."
Meanwhile, Tom's representatives had declined to comment.
