Tour de France winner and Olympic time trial champion Bradley Wiggins was named BBC Sports Personality of the Year at a star-studded live ceremony in London on Sunday.

The 32-year-old cyclist won ahead of Olympic heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis, while tennis player Andy Murray, who triumphed at the Olympic Games and the US Open, came third in the annual public poll.

"I'm just going to say thank you very much for everyone who picked the phone up and voted," said Wiggins, who became the first British winner of the Tour de France and took his tally of Olympic gold medals to four at the London Olympic Games.

The ceremony capped a memorable year for sport in Great Britain, which was recognized when the country's Olympic and Paralympic squad - who between them won 185 medals during the London Olympic Games - were named Team of the Year.
