The 2022 BBC Sports Personality of the Year award will be presented tonight at a ceremony in Salford.
Beth Mead is the overwhelming bookies’ favourite to be voted as the people’s SPOTY champion but England cricket hero Ben Stokes is making a case of his own. Ronnie O’Sullivan is thought to have an outside shot at winning.
An array of awards will be handed out on the night to cap off a memorable year for British sport.
