Celebs support Tom Daley after twitter abuse scandal

After Tom Daley missed out on an Olympic medal in yesterday's synchronised diving event, the country went mad as a vile twitter user told Tom he'd let his dad down.

Celebs have taken to twitter to show their support for Tom:

Ferne Cotton-

"It is unreal that anyone would

send abusive tweets to our 

athletes. Theyve worked so

hard and deserve our support!

#GOteamGB "

Alan Sugar-
"Well done to the police a 17 year old arrested for foul mouth abuse on twitter to Olympic diver Tom Daley."

Dan Wootton-

"I hope @TomDaley1994 ignores that idiot and knows the entire country is behind him. #olympics"

Katie Piper-

"I'm really pleased 2 see the man that sent abusive tweets 2 TomDaley has been arrested. Great example that u should think before you tweet." 

And Maria Fowler's even started a twitter petition or 'Twitition' to remove internet 'trolls' from Twitter.

"Everyone sign my twitition - Target the Trolls:http://twitition.com Retweet Pls"
