Adam Peaty's odds of winning BBC Sports Personality of the Year have been slashed in half by Ladbrokes.

Following his emphatic gold medal in the early hours punters rushed to back the world record holder, and his price of picking up another gong this year and becoming 2016's Sports Personality have been cut into 10/1.

However, it's not just Adam who's the star of the show, with his Nan Mavis enjoying her new found fame the bookies chalk her up at 8/1 to head Down Under later this year for a stint on I'm A Celebrity or it's a 10/1 shot she gets her own TV show.

Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: "Punters have piled into Peaty's odds and we've been left with no choice but to take the scissors to his BBC SPOTY price. Nan Mavis has won over the nation and it wouldn't be a huge surprise if she becomes a star in her own right on TV soon."
