TV faithful Claudia Winkleman made MBE by the King at Windsor Castle

Alongside It Takes Two, Winkleman began hosting various reality shows including BBC Three’s The House of Tiny Tearaways and ITV’s Hell’s Kitchen, before she took the helm as one of the co-presenters of BBC One’s the Film programme, following the departure of Jonathan Ross.

She also hosted The Great British Sewing Bee and The Piano talent show on Channel 4, as well as a raft of shows on BBC Radio 2.

Earlier this year she was given the Royal Television Society’s outstanding achievement award.

After being named on the honours list in June, Winkleman said she was “incredibly grateful to receive this honour”.

“It’s a real privilege to work with extraordinarily talented people and I have only got this because of them. So this is for the BBC, the Traitors and the Faithful, for pianos and for the cha cha,” she added.

Meanwhile on Tuesday, Sir Antony Gormley was also recognised by King Charles at the same ceremony.

The Angel of the North sculptor joined the elite Companions of Honour, an exclusive group limited to only 65 recipients at any one time.
