GAME WORLD's video: Lewis Hamilton WINS Sports Personality of the Year

Lewis Hamilton WINS Sports Personality of the Year but accepts the award at home as Gary Lineker plays keepie-uppie with a toilet roll on sports' big TV night. Lewis Hamilton has won Sports Personality of the Year and accepted the award from home as the socially distanced ceremony saw Gary Lineker play keepie-uppie with a toilet roll. Captain Tom Moore introduced tonight's ceremony on BBC One before he was given a special honour for his fundraising efforts, while Marcus Rashford was also praised for his campaigning. After winning his seventh Formula 1 world championship, Lewis Hamilton was favourite to win Sports Personality of the Year and lived up to the expectation, with Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson finishing as runner-up. Hamilton appeared at the ceremony from one of his many luxury homes, and was thought to be in either Monaco or Colorado. Speaking after scooping the prize, he said: 'I really wasn't expecting this knowing that there's so many great contenders, but I think they're all winners. 'I really want to say a merry Christmas to everyone. I know it's been such an unusual year, but all the frontline workers, all the children around the world, please try and stay positive through this difficult time. 'I'm just really proud to be amongst them all and I will continue to try and do my part for representing the country in the best way I can. 'Please everyone out there, go out and follow your dreams, all the kids never give up on yourselves. You have what it takes.' Others in contention included boxer Tyson Fury, cricketer Stuart Broad, jockey Hollie Doyle and snooker ace Ronnie O'Sullivan. yourceleb,lewis hamilton,billy monger,bbc sports personality of the year,bbc spoty,hamilton,monger,sports personality of the year,michael schumacher,news,sport,news sport,hot,ctp_video,f1,f1 news,spoty,harry kane sports personality,geraint thomas sports personality,sports personality,bbc world sports star 2018,sports personality award,sports personality of the year predictions,sports personality 2018 winner,sports personality of the year 2018
