Lucy Beaumont’s upcoming appearance on Saturday Kitchen coincides with her recent split from comedian Jon Richardson, adding a personal twist to her public profile. The show will air on May 2, 2026, and will be hosted by Matt Tebbutt.
Lucy Beaumont is a beloved British comedian from Hull. She has achieved significant recognition in the comedy scene, including reaching the finals of So You Think You’re Funny in 2011 and winning the BBC Radio New Comedy Awards in 2012. Her debut show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, titled We Can Twerk It Out, was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award in 2014.
In addition to her stand-up career, Lucy co-wrote the comedy series Hullraisers, which Channel 4 commissioned in 2021. She also participated in the inaugural series of Celebrity Traitors, where Alan Carr emerged as the winner. Lucy’s mother, Gill Adams, is an acclaimed playwright who won the Edinburgh Fringe Festival’s Best New Play prize in 1997.
Lucy and Jon Richardson were married for nine years before their separation in April 2024. They share a daughter named Elsie, born in April 2016. Lucy has stated that while people might expect her to discuss their public relationship, she prefers not to do so, emphasizing that there is no animosity between them.
Upcoming projects for Lucy:
- Competing in The Great Celebrity Pottery Throw Down, hosted by Liza Tarbuck.
- The show will feature six celebrities with minimal pottery expertise.
- No weekly eliminations are planned; instead, it will focus on skill development over five episodes.
The series is currently in development and has not yet been picked up by a network. Observers are keen to see how Lucy’s comedic talents will shine through these new opportunities following her recent life changes.
