On Sunday night, England cricketer Ben Stokes won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.
Stokes had led the England cricket team to a World Cup in extremely dramatic circumstances, alongside captain Eoin Morgan. Three cricket stars were present at the BBC’s awards night in Aberdeen, and were called on stage by Lineker an hour before the award was announced.He said:"Please welcome England world cup winner Jason Roy, captain Eoin Morgan and main award winner Ben Stokes."
He quickly backtracked on his comments, saying that he had meant to say contender instead of winner, but the damage was done. He also took to Twitter to say that the voting hadn't even begun at that stage, and that he had just"f**ed up"...
A great day for New Zealand
