Joe Wicks receives an MBE in Queen’s Birthday Honours list

OHMYGOSSIP — Joe Wicks has been awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list.
The 34-year-old fitness coach has been recognised for his hard work amid the coronavirus lockdown, when he ran free online classes for children and their parents in an effort to help Brits to keep fit.
Elsewhere, David Suchet, who is best known for playing Hercule Poirot in the long-running detective series, has been awarded a knighthood, while Tommy Steele – who has been dubbed Britain’s “first rock and roll star” – is also set to be knighted.
Mary Berry – who is best known for starring on ‘The Great British Bake Off’ – has been made a Dame and she’s thrilled to have been recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list, describing the news as the “icing on the cake”.
The TV star – who was made a CBE in 2012 – told the BBC: “When I was first told that I was going to be a dame you don’t really believe it – then it’s so exciting, and you feel very proud. It’s such a huge honour.”
Professor Brian Cox and TV presenter Lorraine Kelly have both been given CBEs, while rapper Dizzee Rascal and singer Mica Paris have been handed MBEs.
Acclaimed fashion designer Sir Paul Smith, who was knighted back in 2000, has been appointed to the prestigious Order of the Companions of Honour.
However, this year’s Birthday Honours list is largely dominated by the frontline workers and volunteers who contributed to the nation’s response to coronavirus.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the recipients were a “testament to the sort of country we are – caring, compassionate and resolute in the face of a global pandemic”.
