Frank Skinner revealed that he married his girlfriend Cath Mason after 24 years together.
The comedian and host shared the news on his podcast, and Frank shared the news with co-hosts Emily Dean and Pierre Novellie during an episode played on Friday morning.
"You would never guess I got married on Monday," the 68-year-old said, adding, "Don't offend, we didn't invite anyone."
He confirmed that their only witness was their son Buzz, who was born in 2012 and his marriage was held at Camden Town Hall.
Getty ImagesSkinner previously said in an interview with Sun in 2024 that he had asked Mason to marry him four times, but she always refused.
He said: "Maybe this is some terrible personal reason I don't know, she doesn't actually like me as much as I thought.
He went on to say, “Her parents were divorced, so she was a little cynical about it and thought that if we got married it would be like a smile at things.”
Skinner met with Mason while working at his management company, and he said that at her request, their wedding was not a traditional wedding.
He said: "I don't want many guests, I don't go to church. I don't want rings."
He added: "It's embarrassing to say no one is going to be married. How can I say it? Marriage is a bit basic."
Skinner said “she was wearing a flowery dress” instead of a white dress, and then they walked down the aisle, lie in the fall, dreaming of a casino soul because the Manchester post-punk group “meaned a lot to us and our early days for me and Case.”
He said Mason also retained his name and now they are married without a ring.
When asked why it is the right time to decide now, he said, “I don’t know why. I just thought, “Maybe I have too much money and I’ll give her half in about five years!” ”, denied that it was “a taxable thing,” adding: “I don’t plan to die soon.”
Skinner's name is Christopher Graham Collins, who may be known for writing lyrics and singing three lions, David Baddiel and Shining Seeds, and his TV and radio work.
From 2009 to 2024, he hosted a performance by Frank Skinner on Absolute Radio, then transferred the format to the podcast.
From 1995 to 2005, he also hosted Frank Skinner on ITV for 10 years and held Room 101 on the BBC between 2012 and 2018.
