The traditional end-of-year ceremony will take place at MediaCity in Salford, with a glitzy bash in store for sporting royalty in attendance.

England Lionesses goalkeeper Mary Earps, England Test cricket bowler Stuart Broad and Heptathlon world champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson are among the favourites to clinch the award from the six-strong shortlist.

Rory McIlroy, Frankie Dettori and Alfie Hewett round off the shortlist, with plenty of interest in each star and a less clear favourite than in previous years.
