Speaking after her victory, Jessica Ennis-Hill (pictured above), who previously won the Sportswoman of the Year award in 2012, said: "I'm so honoured to win this award. This time last year I never thought I would be here in this room with these amazing women, who have achieved so much and are changing so much in sport.

“It’s really emotional standing here, especially when I think back to the year I have had. It has been incredibly hard: adjusting to life as a mum, having all those amazing experiences and reaching the top of my career. “I don’t see myself as ‘Supermum’. I am a new mum and I am doing what I love, doing an amazing sport. ‘Supermums’ are mums who do so much more than I do.”
