Comedian Lucy Beaumont, known for her sharp wit and comedy work alongside her former husband Jon Richardson, is now stepping into reality TV with her participation in the BBC show Celebrity Traitors.
From Comedy to Reality TV
Lucy gained fame through comedy shows, including Jon and Lucy’s Odd Couples and Meet The Richardsons, where she and Jon portrayed humorous, exaggerated versions of themselves. While her comedic career has been well-established, Lucy is now exploring new territory on Celebrity Traitors, joining 19 other celebrities such as Alan Carr, Kate Garraway, and Charlotte Church at Ardross Castle in Scotland. The show is hosted by Claudia Winkleman.
Marriage and Separation
Lucy Beaumont married fellow comedian Jon Richardson in 2015, after being introduced by fellow comic Roisin Conaty. The couple welcomed a daughter, Elsie, the following year. After nine years of marriage, the pair announced their separation in April 2024, describing the decision as joint and amicable.
In a statement shared publicly, they emphasized that their priority was managing the transition carefully for their daughter’s well-being and requested privacy during the process. Lucy later clarified in interviews that she would not discuss the reasons behind the split, emphasizing there was no animosity between them.
Financial Settlement
Following the divorce, reports indicate that Jon Richardson paid Lucy £1.625 million for her shares in a company where both had been listed as directors. The settlement allowed both to move forward independently while maintaining a professional and personal boundary.
