Olympic diver Matthew Mitcham has covered Beyoncé's 'Single Ladies' on his ukulele.

The 2008 gold medallist recorded the video during a training break at the Olympic Village in London and uploaded the clip to his YouTube account.



Mitcham said: "Someone on twitter asked me to upload a video of me playing the ukulele. I profess to be neither a great instrumentalist nor singer.

"I'm just an Olympic diver who likes to strum away in his spare time."

He is the defending champion after performing the highest-scoring single dive in Olympic history at the Beijing Olympics back in 2008.
