ROYAL Variety host Bradley Walsh left some viewers cringing tonight when he got down on his knees and begged Prince William for a knighthood.
The Princess of Wales chuckled along and many of Bradley's fans said he "had a point" when he said he'd been snubbed for years.
Addressing Prince William, he said: "Your Royal Highness, I worked for your gran, your great gran, your dad, your granddad, your great grandad, and now you.
"And I must say - ask me if I've got an MBE. Nah, ain't got one. Ask me if I've got an OBE - nah, ain't got one of them. Ask me if I've got a CBE - no!
"No. Not a sausage. Not even a member of the RAC anymore."
The TV legend, 63, delivered a long list of his services to comedy on stage at the Royal Albert Hall and said he'd "entertained troops in the Falklands" and was "happy to make it out alive".

And he continued to make his point by taking a swipe at fellow TV stars.
He said: "Guess who they give them to? People on telly who bake cakes."
Some found his passionate speech painful to watch and took to social media to have a go.
"I love Bradley Walsh but he’s dying on his a**e here," one said.
Another fumed: "I do hope @BradleyWalsh whole act isn't going to be about asking for a knighthood, yes I know he's partially joking but still I wish we could go back to the no talking to the royals in your act."
While another viewer said the sketch was "extremeley awkward" and a fourth chimed: "What is #bradleywalsh going on about pleading for an obe cbe etc etc its embarrassing."
