Comedian Matt Lucas has said he had to read a letter informing him he had been made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) “a couple of times” as he thought it may be a prank.
Lucas first came to prominence as George Dawes in the BBC Two comedy panel show Shooting Stars, but he later became better known for his comedy partnership with David Walliams, his co-star in shows such as Little Britain and Come Fly With Me.
