“Lovely chap with a keen interest in history. Nice to meet you Mr Skinner.”

The 62-year-old, whose real name is Chris Collins, performed at Cast in Doncaster on Saturday night as part of nationwide tour.

He has presented a number of shows focusing on Britain’s heritage in previous years after originally finding fame as one of Britain’s favourite stand up comedy stars.

And it is not his first visit to Doncaster.

As well as playing several shows at The Dome, in 2010, he was spotted cheering on his beloved West Bromwich Albion with fellow TV host Adrian Chiles as the pair’s team took on Doncaster Rovers at the Keepmoat Stadium.
