Lucy Beaumont Eyes Television Comeback with Celebrity Traitors
Following a period away from the spotlight, reports suggest comedian Lucy Beaumont is preparing for a significant career comeback as part of the cast of the new series Celebrity Traitors. Since her separation from Jon Richardson was announced last year, Beaumont has largely remained out of the public eye, but now appears poised for a TV resurgence.
Rumours of Star-Studded Lineup for Celebrity Traitors
Speculation is growing that Beaumont is eager to return to prominence and may be joining a host of famous faces on a programme centered around deception. Kate Garraway from Good Morning Britain is also reportedly associated with the show, potentially joining a high-profile list including figures like rugby personality Joe Marler, beloved presenter Stephen Fry, diver Tom Daley, broadcaster Clare Balding, and political commentator Robert Peston.
Comedy Heavyweights Linked to the Show
Comedy stars Alan Carr and Jennifer Saunders, along with singer Paloma Faith, are also rumoured to be in contention for roles in the show, with producers reportedly believing Beaumont would be a perfect addition to the lineup.
Focus on Career After Split from Jon Richardson
An unnamed source told The Sun newspaper, “Lucy is a huge admirer of the show and is very enthusiastic about participating at Ardross Castle. Following her separation from Jon, she has been diligently working to elevate her profile, and Celebrity Traitors presents an ideal chance to do so.”
Public Reaction to Beaumont and Richardson Separation
Fans were reportedly surprised by the dissolution of Beaumont’s marriage with Richardson, especially after they had become a well-known couple through their collaborative project, Meet The Richardsons, which began in 2020. When announcing their separation, they released a joint statement stating, “We have mutually and amicably reached the difficult decision to divorce and pursue separate paths,” according to reports in The Mirror.

Beaumont’s First Comments on Relationship Breakdown
Beaumont initially addressed the couple’s split in September, speaking openly about their relationship. In an interview with OK! Magazine, she described Richardson’s inflexibility as a key issue, stating, “People might assume I should discuss it because our relationship was so public and we were known as a couple, but I won’t, and not because there’s any ill-feeling.”
Jon Richardson’s Humorous Career Update Following Split
Beaumont also spoke about embracing a fresh outlook in her 40s, commenting, “I don’t really feel any different, just a bit more annoyed and less tolerant of nonsense from anyone.”
Richardson Jokes About Stand-Up Break
Meanwhile, Jon Richardson, aged 42, shared a light-hearted update with followers on Instagram, making a joke about his time away from live comedy. In a video recorded while walking, he quipped: “I just thought I’d offer a brief update. I rarely post social media updates, and I’ll explain why – because I doubt anyone is interested. However, I have a small piece of news. I’ve taken a slight hiatus from stand-up, and it’s really made me… want to continue taking a break from stand-up.”
Reflecting on Past Aspirations
The broadcaster disclosed a reflective moment, stating: “I’ve been contemplating a diary entry I came across from 1997.”
Teenage Diary Excerpt Shared
He then shared a segment from his teenage diary on screen, in which he pondered at age 14: “It’s this one. I was 14 years old, it says although I would love to be a stand-up comedian, I’ll probably end up being a teacher. And I’ve been thinking about that a lot.”
Comedian Announces Career Change
Richardson expressed satisfaction with his chosen profession, affirming, “I’ve enjoyed being a comedian immensely; it was definitely the right choice. But I’ve decided it would be good to explore the alternative path, and that’s precisely what I’m going to do.” [sic]
New Teaching Role Revealed
In an unexpected turn, he revealed his new career direction: “I’ve been undergoing some training, and I have accepted a teaching position. I will provide updates as and when possible. But that’s all from me for now, just to keep you informed of my current situation. I’ll keep you all posted.”
