The Little Britain star who swam the channel. Do think he deserves all the hype he has been getting or is he a little overrated and used to advertise Sport Relief.
I was always impressed with his effort to train for the extreme challenge, and then to do it aswell was awesome. However, I object to him being favourite to take the BBC's sports personality award for doing so. I compare his effort to a guy climbing a mountain for charity, a sponsored bike ride or possibly running a marathon in a novelty costume. Although he did do a great thing for kids all over the world, in sporting terms,he shouldn't be up there with our tops sportsmen!
Other winners could include Wayne Rooney, Stevie G, Andy Murray and hopefully some more will emerge before December.
