Lucy Beaumont, a beloved British comedian from Hull, is set to appear on Saturday Kitchen on May 2, 2026. This moment comes just after her highly publicized split from fellow comedian Jon Richardson, adding a poignant layer to her already vibrant public persona.
Beaumont’s career has been marked by significant achievements. She reached the finals of So You Think You’re Funny in 2011 and won the BBC Radio New Comedy Awards in 2012. Her debut Edinburgh Fringe show in 2014, We Can Twerk It Out, was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award, showcasing her unique comedic style.
In recent years, she has continued to make waves in the comedy scene. Channel 4 commissioned her comedy series Hullraisers in 2021, co-written with Anne-Marie O’Connor and Caroline Moran. Additionally, she participated in the inaugural series of Celebrity Traitors, which was won by Alan Carr. Yet despite these successes, Beaumont’s personal life has taken center stage.
The end of her marriage to Jon Richardson in April 2024 after nine years has brought new challenges. Beaumont has expressed reluctance to discuss their separation publicly. “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,” she stated.
As she prepares for her appearance on Saturday Kitchen, hosted by Matt Tebbutt alongside culinary stars like Vivek Singh and Donna Hay, Beaumont also gears up for another venture—competing in The Great Celebrity Pottery Throw Down. This show will feature six celebrities with minimal pottery expertise and will focus on skill development over five episodes rather than weekly eliminations.

- 2011: Reached finals of So You Think You’re Funny.
- 2012: Won the BBC Radio New Comedy Awards.
- 2014: Debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

This upcoming period seems pivotal for Beaumont—balancing personal upheaval with career advancements. Observers are keenly watching how she navigates this transition while continuing to thrive in her comedic endeavors.
