2023 has offered mixed fortunes for sports stars across the land, with England's Lionesses coming unstuck in the Women's World Cup final.

And the England Men's Test cricket team were only able to claim a valiant draw in The Ashes, held back from glory by a Mancunian rain cloud (we're still not over it).

Lionesses goalkeeper Mary Earps, England bowler Stuart Broad and heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson are the top three contenders, with a host of other awards to be distributed on the night.
