World Champion Tom Daley became the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year (SPOTY) for the second time after first winning the prestigious award for the first time in 2007. Daley became the first athlete to ever win the award twice at the glittering ceremony in Sheffield. He received his prize from Double Paralympic Champion Eleanor Simmonds. Daley first made a name for himself after becoming Britain's second youngest Olympian when he competed in Beijing and in 2009 he became World Champion after winning the 10m Platform in Rome. Milton Keynes based Doreen Adcock won the BBC Unsung Hero of the Year award. Adcock has taught children within the area to swim for over 35 years and was awarded the prize for her timeless dedication to the sport. -ENDS-

World Champion Tom Daley is one step closer to clinching the BBC Sports Personality of the Year (SPOTY) award but needs your help to win the prestigious award.

The BBC named their top 10 athletes for the SPOTY award earlier this month and Daley is one of the first athletes to have ever been named on the shortlist for both the SPOTY and the BBC Young SPOTY awards.

Daley needs your help to win this award and British Swimming are urging the aquatic community to pick up their phones and vote for the young diving talent when the SPOTY Awards begin at 7pm.

British Swimming are encouraging everyone to get behind Daley to help him claim the title ahead of other top British athletes including Jessica Ennis and Jenson Button, and become the first aquatic athlete to win the award for 45 years.
