Video: Eddie Izzard thanks volunteers at BBC SPOTY

December 12, 2024

BBC Sports Personality of the Year will be saying a big thank you to the UK’s volunteers, with 500 invited to attend the star-studded event in Glasgow this December 14 at the SSE Hydro. Comedian and actor Eddie Izzard will lead the celebrations, offering an extra special acknowledgement to the incredible people who give their time to make sport happen in the UK.

It will also be a magical moment for some of the remarkable volunteers watching at home as Eddie will be live on the red carpet with a phone box where he will be surprising them with a phone call from a host of British sports stars. Eddie, who is patron of Join In, a sports volunteer charity, along with the sports stars, will be saying thank you to the volunteers for the time and commitment they put into sport.

Join In, with BBC Get Inspired, are supporting the Big Thank You and viewers will be able to watch Eddie on the BBC Red Button and BBC News channel before the main event on Sunday 14 December, broadcast live on BBC One and BBC One HD at 8pm. Eddie will also be presenting the BBC Get Inspired Unsung Hero Award on the night.
