Any danger of a nomination announcement? 

We wait...

Seems like we’ve got a bit of a delay here. Nihal Arthanayake has gone to the news. Nominations for you as they come in… could be a few minutes yet.

Fourth nomination

Right, BBC Radio 5 is about to announce the fourth nomination for Sports Personality of the Year. Last guesses. Last predictions. Last bets.

Here we go…

Recap

Just to re-cap, we have had three nominations announced so far. 

Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton, England’s second all-time leading Test wicket taker Stuart Broad, and Premier League-winning Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson are all up for the award.

Who is going to join them in just ten minutes time?
