Frank Skinner sent fans into a frenzy when he reunited with his former radio show co-hosts. The Black Country comedian used to present the Saturday breakfast slot on Absolute Radio alongside Emily Dean and Pierre Novellie before the show was canned.

The show was axed in March, bringing Frank's 15 years stint at the station to an end. But the 67-year-old has now teased a new project could be in the pipeline.

Frank took to Instagram to share a picture of himself with Emily, 42, and Pierre, 33, on Wednesday. He captioned the snap: "Band getting back together?"

The Mirror reports that fans were delighted to see the trio reunited. One said: "I've boycotted Absolute since they canned you mate. What were they thinking?"

A second said: "Was a Saturday morning must, whoever decommissioned the show should have gone." A third wrote: "Please say the three of you are doing something new together. We miss you on the radio."

Earlier this year Frank told listeners he'd been stunned by the decision to shelve the show. He said: "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!'"
