Tonight the winners of The X Factor and Sports Personality of the Year will be crowned.

Bookmakers feel fairly confident that these will be 36-year-old former prison officer Sam Bailey (9/2 on at time of writing) and 26-year-old Wimbledon champion Andy Murray (33/1 on). One of the songs Bailey is performing in the final is the Dreamgirls anthem “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going”. Murray has announced: “Missing the awards is a sacrifice I need to make.” Too late for a duet?
