Sports Personality will get underway tonight (Tuesday, December 17) at 7pm in Salford. Viewers will be able to watch the show live on BBC One as well as on the BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website. An all-female cast of Clare Balding, Gabby Logan, and Alex Scott will present this year’s show.

This comes after Gary Lineker stepped down from his hosting duties following a 23-year stint. Headlining this year’s shortlist is Paris 2024 Olympic gold medalist Keely Hodgkinson after she stormed to an emphatic 800m gold at just 22 years of age. The runner came into the Games with plenty of expectation after a stellar season which saw her win European Championships gold and set a new British record.
