British comedian, 68, secretly marries longtime partner after 24 years together
Congratulations are in order.
British comedian Frank Skinner has revealed he secretly married his longtime partner Cath Mason after 24 years together.
The 68-year-old and Cath started dating in 2003 while she was working as a receptionist at his management company.
In 2012, the couple welcomed their first child, son Buzz.
Now, Frank has revealed they had a low-key ceremony on Monday at Camden Town Hall with no guests.
It was only attended by Buzz, 12, who was his parents’ witness.
Frank revealed he was a married man on his podcast Frank Off The Radio, to the shock of his co-stars Emily Dean and Pierre Novellie.

Frank shared that he had proposed to Cath, but she was reluctant to have a big white wedding.
He explained: ‘I said to Cath, “Will you marry me?” and she said “I’m not having a f***ing party! I don’t want a load of guests. I’m not going in a church. I don’t want a ring. I’m not wearing a stupid f****ing white dress.”

‘And then about two weeks later I said, “Okay we’ll do it your way.” I felt bad for the friends. I would have invited everyone.’
