On Saturday night, she wore a stunning green dress alongside presenter Gabby Logan, legendary American sprinter Michael Johnson and fellow Olympic champion heptathlete Denise Lewis.

Three-time world champion Ennis-Hill has established herself as one of the best pundits in athletics.

And those on social media were quick to praise her for her work at this year's World Athletics Championships.

One said: "World Athletics BBC presentation. The combination of Denise Lewis, Jessica Ennis-Hill and Michael Johnson is unbeatable.

"Immaculately presented, well spoken and true experts who command a listen. Well done!"

While another added: "Michael Johnson footage of the 400m world record and then the humility and laughter of Jessica Ennis-Hill on the studio was a great TV moment.

"Here at home enjoying the panel and commentary team so much for the World Athletics in Budapest."

Ennis-Hill claimed her first heptathlon world title in 2009, before she also went on to win the event two years later.

Then, after initially claiming silver in 2015, she was promoted to gold the following year after Tatyana Chernova was stripped of the title for a doping violation - one month after Ennis-Hill announced her retirement.

But British sports fans know her best for her stunning Olympic triumph at the London 2012 Games.

Four years later, she won silver in Rio - hanging up her spikes towards the end of 2016.
