Team GB’s golden couple Jason and Laura Kenny are due to become the stars of the annual New Year’s Honours list.

Although the cycling couple both already have OBEs, they’re apparently set to be awarded “something big” in the list.

Jason and Laura Kenny are likely to be made a Sir and Dame in the New Year’s Honours Lists
A source told the Sunday People: “Jason is likely to be given a knighthood and Laura will probably be made a dame. They are very much the poster couple of this year’s honours.

“The whole thing is going to be dominated by sports stars but Laura and Jason are the standouts.

“They were incredibly successful in Rio and this is the right way to honour them.”

This year’s Rio Olympics saw Great Britain finishing second overall in what was their most successful performance away from home yet, bringing back a whopping 130 medals.

Of the 59 gold, 51 silver and 26 bronze medals won by Team GB this year, Jason and Kenny won five between them.
