Remember Me: A Walk Down Memory Lane

The segment, known for its mix of humor and heartfelt reunions, didn't disappoint. Frank Skinner, the BAFTA-winning comedian, was greeted by familiar faces from his past as they emerged from a stage trapdoor. First, it was Shayda, his optometrist, followed by Jeff, a childhood friend. But it was the third guest who truly struck a chord – Cathy, the doctor who delivered Frank's son 13 years ago.

An Unexpected Reunion

As Cathy stepped onto the stage, Frank's reaction was immediate. "If you are who I think you are, are you Cathy?" he asked, his voice filled with emotion. The crowd erupted in applause as Frank's eyes brimmed with tears. "This is Cathy, Cathy delivered my baby, and he's actually here tonight, he's 13 now," he shared with the audience.

“You handed me the most amazing gift I have ever had in my entire life, Cathy. Thank you so much,” Frank told Cathy as they hugged, his voice choked with gratitude.

A Moment to Remember

As Frank made his way down from the Royal box to embrace Cathy, the studio audience was equally moved. Viewers took to social media to express their emotions, with one posting, "Well, I didn't have blubbing at Frank Skinner on my bingo card EVER #michaelmcintyresbigshow." Another added, "Not me crying cos Frank Skinner is crying cos Cathy is there who delivered his son 13 yrs ago #michaelmcintyresbigshow."

The touching reunion proved to be one of the most genuine moments on television, with fans declaring Frank Skinner an "unexpected National Treasure." Michael McIntyre's Big Show continues to bring both laughter and tears to audiences, airing Saturdays on BBC One and iPlayer.
