john-barrowman-and-debbie-gibson-join-abc-s-sing-your-face-offIt’s been the hardest thing for me to keep this a secret, but I’m glad it’s out now, because this is probably one of the proudest days of my life. I can’t tell you how honored I am to get this MBE, to be recognized by Her Majesty, and also by the United Kingdom, because that’s where I consider my home. Proud to be Scottish, proud to be part of Great Britain, and proud to accept this honour. I am chuffed and I can’t say more than that.”

Out actor John Barrowman, who originally hails from Scotland, admits he was very happy, or “chuffed,” in Britslang, at being honored by Queen Elizabeth with a Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE)
