The pair had previously spoke about the honour, telling the Chronicle: "This will definitely be the proudest our mams have ever been! We are both shocked, but incredibly honoured to receive OBEs. We are just two ordinary lads from the west end of Newcastle. We hope us receiving this honour can inspire young people to chase their dreams and believe that anything is possible."

Clarence House's Instagram account congratulated the Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway hosts' on the honour, writing: "Congratulations @antanddecofficial on your OBEs!

The pair are clearly fans of the royal family, and joked that they would love to see Prince Charles enter the jungle on I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here. They told ITN: "Charles for sure. He's an outdoors sort of fella! He'd probably win it." It has been an amazing week for them both as they also won three awards at the National Television Awards on Wednesday.
