    She's only gone and done it!

    Rise Ma'amSarah Kennedy got her fully-deserved MBE on Thursday.

    Speaking afterwards, she said: "It's lovely to get it. It's quite undeserved really because it's programmes I love doing and I get paid for."

    At the time, SK threw the letter announcing the honour in the rubbish, mistaking it for a piece of election campaigning! She retrieved if after reflecting that it was on "very expensive paper".

    "I took it out and it was covered in tomato ketchup. I had to sit down I was so shocked," she said.

    Kaplinsky on the breakfast
  • Last Friday, SK left the studio, as per normal, at 7:40am. Normally she gets back to Kennedy Towers for Ken Bruce, but this time she got back at...
    ... 2pm! This was due to water spilt on the roads of London.
  • Also last Friday, Sarah Kennedy MBE went to the Post Office Tower for an ITV birthday bash. Vanessa Feltz and Natasha Kaplinsky ('lost a toe during Celebrity Dancer Programme) were there too. SK's Dearly Beloved is not into the celeb thang, but he loves 'Maggie from Extras' and got talking to her!
