He told host Lorraine Kelly: “It’s really surreal. You know exactly what it is like.
“It’s just so many different emotions….I choke up really easily.”
Ross struggled to contain his emotions as he started to tear up.
Lorraine took over and shared how she felt after receiving an OBE in 2012.
She said: “I’m not surprised, love. I cried the whole way through because it’s an incredible honour.”
Lorraine then surprised Ross by sharing a montage of clips of heartfelt messages from his good friends.
Take That singer Gary Barlow said: “I can count on one hand my friends and you’re definitely one of them.
“I love spending time with you and I am delighted you got this award. There is no one more deserving.”
Legendary actress Joan Collins also had a message for Ross.
She said: “As a DBE, which is what I am, congratulations on your MBE.”
Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden added: “You do so much charity work, you deserve it. Congratulations!”
As the show returned to Lorraine and Ross, the host had a question for Ross.
She said: “Who is Derek King and why is Derek being honoured? I’m confused.”
Ross replied that his real name is Derek, and that it was used by his parents when he “had done something wrong”.
He added: “I’m thinking so much about mum and dad today because this is for them,” as he started welling up.
His wife, Brianna Deutsch, then joined him and gushed: “I have mascara running, that was so sweet.”
