Speaking to reporters after the investiture, Daly said: "This is probably the greatest honour of my career and it still feels quite surreal to be honest with you.
"I've been working in television for 25 years, and it's a job I absolutely love to do.
"It was a real privilege to be in a room of people who have made a difference in their communities, who have built incredible careers. It was a very inspiring environment."
She attended the ceremony with her husband Vernon Kay and her two children.
She added: "His Majesty put me at ease - I was quite nervous.
"We talked about the show and I know the Queen enjoys it.
"She sent me a letter of congratulations when I received the MBE which meant the world."
