Frank, 68, told co-hosts Emily Dean and Pierre Novellie: “Can you brace yourselves? You’ll never guess what I did on Monday – I got married. I got f***ing married!
“Don’t be offended, we didn’t invite anyone. Buzz was a witness. We got married not in a room but on the stairs at Camden Town Hall.”
Frank and Cath share son Buzz, who was born in 2012.
Revealing how the low-key wedding came about, he continued: “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’.
“So it went on. ‘I’m not doing this!’ I said “Oh, forget it.’
“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.”
Frank revealed Cath had a couple more rules after agreeing to tie the knot.
He said: “‘I’m not changing my name and I’m not wearing a ring. I don’t wear jewellery’, which is true.
“She said ‘If I wear a ring, I’ll feel trapped.’ I said ‘you’ll be married, you’re supposed to feel f***ing trapped! That what it symbolises. It’s like a shackle!'”
During a recent show Frank revealed Cath had rejected his offer of marriage four times.
Frank Skinner says he’s desperate to get married but his partner keeps turning him down
He joked: “Maybe it’s some terrible personal reason that I don’t know about.
“That she doesn’t actually like me as much as I think she does.
“Her parents got divorced, so she got a bit cynical about it and thinks if we get married it would be like a slight curse on the thing.”
