Frank Skinner gets married after four rejections from his now-wife

Frank Skinner, a well-known comedian and presenter, has recently announced that he has married his long-time girlfriend, Cath Mason, after being together for an impressive 24 years. The news was shared during an episode of his podcast, Frank Off The Radio, which aired on Friday morning. Frank, who is 68 years old, excitedly revealed, 'You'll never guess what I did on Monday, I got married! ' He humorously added that they chose not to invite anyone to the ceremony, stating, 'Don't be offended, we didn't invite anyone. ' The couple's only witness at the wedding was their son, Buzz, who was born in 2012, and the marriage took place at Camden Town Hall, a popular venue for weddings in London. Interestingly, Frank had proposed to Cath four times before, but she had declined each time. He joked about it, saying, 'Maybe it's some terrible personal reason that I don't know about,' suggesting that perhaps Cath didn't like him as much as he thought. He also mentioned that Cath's parents had divorced, which made her a bit cynical about marriage. She believed that getting married might bring bad luck to their relationship. When it came to planning their wedding, Cath made it clear that she wanted it to be different from a traditional ceremony. Frank shared that she told him, 'I don't want a load of guests, I'm not going in a church. I don't want a ring. ' Frank agreed with her wishes and expressed that getting married can be somewhat embarrassing. He said, 'The thing that no one ever says about getting married is it's quite embarrassing. How can I put it? It's a bit basic getting married. ' Instead of a classic white wedding dress, Cath wore a lovely flowery dress, and they walked down the aisle to a song called Lie Dream Of a Casino Soul by The Fall, a band that holds special meaning for both of them from their early days together. Frank also mentioned that Cath chose to keep her own name and does not wear a ring now that they are married. When asked why they decided to tie the knot after so many years, Frank humorously replied, 'I don't know why. I just thought, maybe I've got too much money, I'll give her half in about five years time! ' He quickly dismissed the idea that their marriage was motivated by tax reasons, adding, 'I'm not planning on dying anytime soon. ' Frank Skinner, whose real name is Christopher Graham Collins, is widely recognized for his contributions to the entertainment industry. He is perhaps best known for co-writing and performing the lyrics to the famous football song Three Lions alongside David Baddiel and The Lightning Seeds. In addition to his work in music, Frank has had a successful career in television and radio.
