Olympic diver and new father Tom Daley will explore the world of surrogacy in an upcoming documentary for the BBC.
Daley, 24, who had his first child via surrogacy with husband Dustin Lace Black earlier this year, will travel to the United States for the hour-long special, where commercial surrogacy is legal.
It is believed that he will also travel to countries where surrogacy has been outlawed entirely.
"Surrogacy is one of the most complex issues in modern society and the laws which govern it are radically different across the world," said Tom McDonald, the BBC's head of natural history and specialist factual commissioning.
McDonald continued: "As new fathers through surrogacy, Tom and Lance are both committed to exploring all of the nuances around this very emotive subject.
"I'm thrilled that Tom is going to be our guide in this deeply personal and intelligent film."
Daley, an "expert through experience", has previously opened up about his long-held desire to have children, admitting that he was originally upset that being gay meant he couldn't start a family.
“One of the things I was so mortified about, so upset about, when I came out, was that I’d never be able to have a family,” he said.
"There’s something so special about passing on what my parents have taught me to children of my own.”
