Frank Skinner is a dad at 55..and his son is named Buzz Cody

Comedian Frank Skinner has become a dad for the first time at 55.

And he and girlfriend Cath Mason have named their son Buzz Cody.

“He’s called Buzz, B-U-Z-Z, after Buzz Aldrin, the ­second man on the Moon,” said Frank yesterday.

“And his second name is Cody, as in Buffalo Bill Cody, the greatest showman of all time, so I’ve worked out his career.

Buzz was born this week after an “exciting 5am drive across London”, Frank told his Absolute Radio listeners after playing ­Johnny Mathis singing When A Child Is Born.

Explaining the choice of names, he said: “I interviewed Buzz Aldrin once and he was brilliant.

"I know ­celebrity types get ­condemned for giving their babies unusual names.

"I’m just glad he’s out, he’s well and his mother is OK.”

The West Brom fan added: “He’s going to be so funny when he grows up.”
