His real name is Chris Collins but when he got his Equity card he had to pick a different stage name as they already had a Chris Collins on their books, so he "borrowed" the name Frank Skinner from a member of his dad's dominoes team.
One Three Lions skit, issued on a Euro 96 compilation album, features Baddiel and Skinner performing less-than-complimentary lyrics about Bruce Forsyth and Play Your Cards Right. ("Standing at the back / In the shade like a prat / With his fist on his forehead...")
