By Corey Charlton A 13-year-old girl who turned her back on an acting career today followed in her hero Tom Daley's footsteps to become one of the youngest English athletes to compete at the Commonwealth Games. Diver Victoria Vincent, nicknamed VV Voom, is the youngest member of Team England who today competed in the Women's 10m Platform final tonight and etched her name into the history books. A podium finish was beyond her grasp despite an impressive performance, made all the more so considering some of the athletes she was competing against have more than a decade of experience over her.
