Lucy Beaumont will appear on Saturday Kitchen on May 2, 2026, hosted by Matt Tebbutt. This appearance comes shortly after her split from comedian Jon Richardson, adding a personal twist to her public profile.

Beaumont is a beloved British comedian from Hull. She has achieved significant recognition in the comedy scene, winning the BBC Radio New Comedy Awards in 2012 and reaching the finals of So You Think You’re Funny in 2011.

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, she co-wrote the Channel 4 series Hullraisers, which premiered in 2021.

No details have surfaced regarding how her recent split might impact her performance or public appearance. Beaumont and Richardson were married for nine years before their marriage ended in April 2024.

Upcoming Projects:

  • Lucy will compete in The Great Celebrity Pottery Throw Down, hosted by Liza Tarbuck.
  • This new show features six celebrities with minimal pottery expertise.
  • The format focuses on skill development over five episodes without weekly eliminations.

Despite their public relationship, Lucy stated, “People might think I should talk about it because we were so public and everyone knew us as a couple, but I won’t, and not because there’s any animosity.” Observers are eager to see how she navigates this transition while continuing to build her career.
