AceShowbiz - Colin Firth thrilled U.S. TV personality Ellen DeGeneres during her morning meeting on Tuesday, March 1 by dropping by to show off his Oscar. The actor appeared on the comedienne's show last week and promised to return if he won gold on Sunday, February 27 for "The King's Speech".

Firth couldn't appear on the show because he had to dash back to England, so he decided to surprise Ellen on his way to the airport and thank her for the underwear gift she gave him the week before, and show off a pair he'd crafted for his award. He said, "I just had to drop by and thank you for the underwear."
