Watch: Australia's Rousseau performs 'dive of the Commonwealth Games' for gold
England's Matty Lee won his second medal of the Commonwealth Games by taking bronze in the 10m platform.
Lee, 24, who claimed synchronised 10m platform gold with Noah Williams earlier in the week, moved into third place with his penultimate dive.
He maintained his position with a final score of 99.90 to secure bronze.
Australia's Cassiel Rousseau made sure of gold with a stunning final score of 103.60, while Canada's Rylan Weins took silver and Williams finished seventh.
Lee's bronze was England's 13th diving medal of the Games - they have won five golds, three silvers and five bronzes to dominate the competition in Birmingham, with one day still to go.
England's Desharne Bent-Ashmeil, 17, just missed out on a medal in the women's 3m springboard final, finishing fourth.
The 2019 European junior 1m springboard champion produced a strong last dive but Maddison Keeney of Australia, Nur Sabri of Malaysia and Mia Vallee of Canada held their nerve to take the medals.
England duo Yasmin Harper and Evie Smith came sixth and 10th, while Grace Reid of Scotland was eighth and team-mate Clara Kerr 11th.
Lee struggled for consistency during his six dives, dropping down the leaderboard after his second and fourth before fighting back into the bronze-medal position.
"I'm actually really happy with my bronze medal," Lee told 大象传媒 Sport.
"For a moment I thought I was out of there because there are some great divers in that competition.
"I obviously wanted to say congratulations to Cassiel - he is a beast, he's so, so good."
Rousseau, who says he has a fear of heights, only started diving five years ago and worked as a circus performer and sports acrobat before turning to competitive sport.
Wales' Aidan Heslop finished eighth and Scotland's Angus Menmuir 11th.
