Nick, from Swinton, teamed up with fellow Brits Stephen Milne, Duncan Scott and James Guy to claim Great Britain's fourth gold of the plum event with a fabulous victory in the men's 4x200 metres freestyle relay.

And he couldn't contain his delight afterwards.

"When I was on that podium was it absolutely fantastic, having a team like this is brilliant," he said.

“When James touched at the finish, I thought I almost took Duncan out, running in for the hug.

“It’s the time of my life, I can’t express it in words."
