Chris Packham has vowed to challenge the royal family on their love of hunting when he collects his CBE at Buckingham Palace. 

The Winterwatch presenter, 57, a passionate defender of wildlife, said he is planning some 'cheeky little words' and does not care if it is 'deemed inappropriate' to bring up the subject at the formal ceremony. 

Packham was awarded a CBE for services to nature conservation in the New Year's Honours list and will soon receive it at the palace.

Speaking to the Radio Times magazine, Packham said: 'There will be lots of cheeky little words, I assure you. Nobody ever gets off the hook around me.

'I don't care if it's a bit clumsy, I don't care if it can be deemed inappropriate: it's important to say something.'

He added: 'I don't know anything about the ceremony or what happens, but I presume at some point someone's going to hand me a medal.

'And whether that's the opportunity, or another one is - don't worry, I'll do it.' 

Generations of the monarchy have enjoyed country pursuits, including hunting. Pictured, Prince Charles riding with the Beaufort Hunt, believed to be taken in the 1990s

Generations of the monarchy have enjoyed country pursuits, including hunting.

It is not known whether the Queen, or another member of the family like the Duke of Cornwall or Duke of Cambridge will host the investiture. 

Packham is best known for hosting BBC Two's Winterwatch and its seasonal spin-off programmes. 

He is also vice president of the RSPB and the RSPCA, and supports other conservation and animal welfare charities.

He praised the royal family for raising awareness around mental health issues.

The presenter said: 'One of the positives of the royal family is that they have been talking openly and honestly about their mental health issues, such as Prince William and Prince Harry dealing with their mother's tragic death.

'That's just the sort of bravery that I'm talking about: having the courage to come out and talk about things that will change us.

'So I'm very flattered by the offer of a CBE and I hope to use it to open more doors and have more conversations.'

He said he 'took some advice' when he was first offered the CBE, adding: 'If it had been for broadcasting, I don't know what I would have done. But it's for services to nature conservation, and that's what I'm all about.

'I've been given a small voice, and if I don't exercise that voice for change then I'm not doing my duty and I couldn't live with myself.'

Packham returns to screens in BBC Two's Winterwatch from January 29. Radio Times magazine is on sale now.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
