Matt Baker has been awarded Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the New Year's Honours list. The presenter has been honoured for charitable and voluntary services to fundraising.
The 44-year-old has now broken his silence on the exciting news in view of his 290,000 Instagram followers.
The One Show star uploaded a video reacting to the announcement, which immediately caused a stir on the picture-sharing app.
He admitted he still "can't quite believe" he has been included in the names.
Beaming from ear to ear, Matt filmed himself outside, seemingly on his family's farm.

He said: "As many of you know Children in Need is a charity that’s very close to my heart and I’d like to thank those who nominated me.
"I’m so proud of the money that’s been raised over the years, in all the fundraisers I’ve been involved with.
"Thank you to everyone that’s helped. I wish you all the very best with whatever comes your way in 2022 #thankyou."
His wife Nicola Baker, who he wed back in 2004, was one of the first to comment: "Really proud of you!"
TV star Russell T Davies told him: "Ah, congratulations! Xx."
Actresses Joanna Lumley and Vanessa Redgrave have been made dames in the New Year Honours list.
Other celebrities being honoured include newsreader Moira Stuart, dancer Ashley Banjo, 007 actor Daniel Craig and soap stars June Brown and William Roache.
