SPORTS Personality of the Year award nominees arrived at the glitzy awards bash with favourite Ben Stokes joined by wife his Clare on the red carpet.
England womens manager Phil Neville was pictured with international defender Lucy Bronze.
World champion boxer Josh Warrington was snapped with his partner Natasha as nominee Dina Asher-Smith posed on her own the carpet.
Garry Lineker, Gabby Logan and Clare Balding will be the hosts with proceedings underway at 7pm.
Cricket hero Stokes is the bookies favourite for the award, after becoming a national hero for his part in the dramatic super over win at Lord’s over New Zealand.
And if that wasn’t enough, he was at it again just a month later as he struck one of the greatest Test innings of all time against Australia at Headingley to keep the Ashes alive.
Just behind is Asher-Smith, after a huge 2019 saw her win THREE medals at the World Championships.
She smashed the national record in both the 100m and 200m, before rounding things off with a silver in the 4x100m.
Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling is an outsider, but pitched in with 25 goals in 51 games and was a key part of England’s Three Lions reaching Euro 2020.
Sterling has carved out a key role in Pep Guardiola’s Man City, who dominated the domestic cups last season.
City racked up a famous treble, winning the Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
