Honour for Last Leg presenter

Adam Hills has been made an MBE in the New Year Honour list.

The comedian and Last Leg presenter has been honoured for services to Paralympic sport and disability awareness.

He told the Press Association he was 'not convinced someone isn’t playing a prank on me'.

'I am absolutely chuffed to bits to be given this honour," he said. "I’ve already googled ‘Australian comedians who have received honours’, ‘when can I start writing MBE after my name?’ and ‘are Australians even eligible for an MBE?’

"Turns out the answers are ‘Barry Humphries and Clive James’, ‘when you receive the medal’ and ‘yes’.
