Now to remember those who sadly passed away this year.

Come on Leon, The Apprentice is on at 9pm.

In all seriousness though, what a fantastic speech.

Tom Daley continues to dominate the diving headlines, having won individual World champion bronze and gold alongside Rebecca Gallantree in the non-Olympic mixed team event in Kazan.

However, in many ways the most impressive performer of 2015 was Jack Laugher. The 20-year-old claimed Britain’s first-ever 3m springboard World Series gold medal – something he went on to achieve a further two times before ending his year with individual and synchronised (with Chris Mears) bronze medals.

The team’s best-ever World Championships helped them secure a guaranteed five places for the Rio Olympics.

There we have it then… Andy Murray and his mates step up to collect an award which was hotly contested between others including the England women’s football team, Leeds Rhinos, England’s Ashes-winning heroes and the footballers of Wales and Northern Ireland.

A tough one to judge, I bet, but it was some feat from Leon Smith’s team. They won the global tournament for the first time since 1936.
