Sue Barker : (2) " It has been an honour to present BBC ‘Sports Personality Of The Year’ for the last 19 years and I have loved every minute of it. The BBC have asked me to stay but I had made the decision to downsize my commitments a while ago, and I knew that the time would be right after what was always set to be a magical 2012. " - Sue Barker " Sports Personality of the Year’ is such an iconic sort of programme, I remember when I was playing tennis, wherever I was in the world I would want to be back in Britain for ‘Sports Personality of the Year.’ " - Sue Barker
