'Tadpole' yet to collect big prize
Unquestionably the best looking of the ten contenders for the BBC's Sports Personality Of The Year - all but one of the others are men - you could be forgiven for thinking that former psychology student Jessica Ennis is also among the richest.
Alas, that is not the case, but Jessica - who won the heptathlon gold medal at the athletics World Championships in Berlin earlier this year - gives a misleading impression of wealth because, three months after her big victory, she has still not collected the £36,000 prize money.
'It's been such a busy time,' says Jessica. 'To be honest, I simply forgot about it. You have to fill out a form and I forgot. I must chase that up!'
Jessica, 23 - who is known as 'Tadpole' because of her diminutive stature - also shrugs off suggestions that she was much admired in Berlin by the world's fastest man, Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt,
insisting that her construction-site manager boyfriend Andy Hill doesn't mind the rumours.
'Some men can be a bit jealous with their girlfriends, but Andy's very good,' she says. 'He knows I have to go away, sometimes for three or four weeks, surrounded by nice athletes who are half-naked!'
