 Ross was named the most powerful person in radio by Radio Times |
Radio and TV presenter Jonathan Ross has received an OBE at Buckingham Palace for services to broadcasting. Ross, who hosts a BBC One chat show and BBC Radio 2 programme, collected his honour from the Prince of Wales.
The presenter said Prince Charles had commented on his commitments, which include hosting Film 2005 and appearing on panel show They Think It's All Over.
Ross said: "He said: 'I don't know how you manage to fit them all in.' I said: 'It's not too late to take this back.'"
Ross, well-known for his extravagant dress sense, wore a grey suit for the occasion.

"I thought it would be easy to go the flamboyant route and I didn't want to offend anyone - for once," he said.
Ross first came to prominence in 1987 with the Channel 4 talk show The Last Resort.
His other shows have included Saturday Zoo and It's Only TV... But I Like It.
Others honoured at the investiture included former British Airways chief Sir Rod Eddington, who was knighted, and 1960s blues legend John Mayall, who received an OBE.
