After years of love, laughter, and perhaps a bit of exasperation, Frank Skinner has finally tied the knot with his longtime partner, Cath Mason. The 68-year-old comedian and presenter recently revealed on his podcast that he and Mason had exchanged vows after 24 years of togetherness.
“You’ll never guess what I did on Monday, I got married,”
shared Skinner excitedly during an episode of ‘Frank Off The Radio,’ where he disclosed the happy news alongside co-hosts Emily Dean and Pierre Novellie. The intimate ceremony took place at Camden Town Hall with only their son Buzz as a witness.
Skinner’s persistence in proposing to Mason was no secret. In a previous interview, he humorously mentioned that he had asked her hand in marriage not once, not twice, but four times before she finally said yes. His witty remark about possibly having “too much money” and joking about giving her half in five years added a touch of light-heartedness to their decision.
“The thing that no one ever says about getting married is it’s quite embarrassing.”
This candid confession by Skinner sheds light on the unconventional nature of their wedding. Far from traditional expectations, Mason opted for a flowery dress instead of the typical white gown and chose to keep her maiden name post-marriage.
The couple’s unique bond is further highlighted by their choice of music for the ceremony – walking down the aisle to ‘Lie Dream Of a Casino Soul’ by The Fall, showcasing their shared appreciation for Manchester post-punk music. Skinner also revealed that they eschewed rings as symbols of their union.
Despite his public persona as a comedian and entertainer known for hits like ‘Three Lions’ and hosting various television shows over the years, Skinner’s personal life reflects a more private and understated approach towards love and commitment. His willingness to share this milestone moment with his podcast listeners adds depth to his usual humorous anecdotes.
