Broadcaster and comedian told listeners they were 'fourth member of the team'Frank Skinner became emotional as he told listeners they had been 'the fourth member of the team' as he signed off his final Absolute Radio show after 15 years at the station.
During Saturday's show, Skinner said: 'I thanked our readers before but honestly, the just, funny, interesting, informative, honest, you've triggered off, sort of entire shows have been based on one funny text or email. Skinner first presented the Saturday breakfast show in 2009 and was inducted into the Radio Academy Hall of Fame in December 2015
Joking he'd spent his redundancy money on Lego Avengers, he then signed off for good, saying: 'You've been the best audience ever. I can't do the 'we'll be back next week', because we won't, we'll never be back. But I love you all. Bye bye.'Journalist Nick Duerden compared Skinner's departure with that of Ken Bruce, 73, from BBC Radio 2 last year.
Skinner was made an MBE in the 2022 New Year Honours list, where he was recognised for his services to entertainment.
