Frank Skinner sends fans wild as he teases comeback five months after Absolute Radio axe

Frank Skinner has sparked a frenzy of excitement by teasing he may revive the success of his recently cancelled radio show.

The 67-year-old comedian used to host used to present the Saturday breakfast slot The Frank Skinner Show on Absolute Radio, alongside co-hosts Emily Dean and Pierre Novellie. But the show was brutally axed in March this year - bringing to an end Frank's glittering Absolute Radio career after 15 years of dedication.

But now the star has teased he is cooking up a new project alongside his former co-stars Emily, 42, and Pierre, 33. Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Frank shared a charming snap of himself sat alongside his two former radio co-stars.

The image showed him sitting with a hot drink in his hand while Emily covered her mouth and Pierre was sat giggling like a dormouse. Frank simply captioned the image: "Band getting back together?" - and the other two shared the same image with similar captions too.

Loyal fans reacted to the teasing snap with delight - with many saying they had turned their backs on his old radio station after they put him out to pasture. One fan replied to type: "I've boycotted Absolute since they canned you mate. What were they thinking?" Another wrote: "Was a Saturday morning must, whoever decommissioned the show should have gone."

And others begged the comedy legend for more details as they couldn't stand to be teased. One wrote: "Yes!! Please?! Pretty Please?! Your show/podcast left a hole no one can fill - replaying old ones when I need a fix." And another gasped: "Please say that the three of you are doing something new together. We miss you on the radio."

Back in March, Frank told listeners that his show had been axed - and explained how stunned he was over the news. He said at the time: "My manager (called)... you know every year, about this time, we've just celebrated our 15th anniversary on the show, so obviously that means the new contract is coming, and every year I do self-deprecating jokes about the fact that we probably won't get it renewed. Guess what?! Yeah, we didn't! So, um, we're not just going now, I'm not going to say bye and that's the end we've got, like, several other, we've got some notice to serve, but um yeah, but no that was um... that's it!'"

After the final episode aired in May, Emily took to Instagram to share a snap of herself, Frank and Pierre leaving the studio. She wrote in a caption: "Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who’s sent such lovely messages about the radio show. Was genuinely overwhelming to read them all..Looking forward to my first Saturday lie in tomorrow in 15 years. And no I won’t be woken up by Ray, bro rarely shows his face before 11am.. Thank you again. And in the words of a great man - NOW GET OUT."
