Lucy Beaumont has opened up on the agreement she made with Jon Richardson following their divorce announcement earlier this year.

The British comedy couple - who starred together in Meet The Richardsons - said in April that they are divorcing after nine years of marriage.

“After nine years of marriage, we would like to announce that we have separated," the pair, who have a daughter together, said in a joint statement.

“We have jointly and amicably made the difficult decision to divorce and go our separate ways.

“As our only priority is managing this difficult transition for our daughter, we would ask that our privacy is respected at this sensitive time to protect her well-being.

“We will be making no further comment.”

Lucy has now broken her silence following the announcement in an interview with OK!.

With her own podcast now in the pipeline, the 41-year-old from Hull admitted: "I don’t feel any different really, just a bit angrier and not willing to take any s**t from anyone.

"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."

On making a pact with her ex Jon, she explained: "We both agreed that while it might be weird for other people not hearing anything about it, we wouldn't talk about anything to do with the marriage or each other."

Lucy's career skyrocketed since picking up the BBC New Comedy Award 12 years ago.

Despite starring in BAFTA-nominated TV show Meet the Richardsons, she insists that her passion lies in stand-up.

"Live shows are unbeatable, there's nothing like it because it's so immediate," she said.

"And each show is totally different.

"You can sort of get the same reaction because they're well bedded-in shows, but each audience has a different personality it's mad, and really fascinating.

"You can say something off hand and it can be the best gag of the show you just don't get that with TV!"

Lucy said it's been a challenge to break into a male-dominated industry, adding: "I grew up seeing things very differently.

Advert

"It was only when I got into comedy clubs that people were telling me 'women aren't funny', and I couldn't understand it because I knew that my mum was the funniest person I knew.

"If people don't call it out, it could easily slip back because it's an unconscious bias.

"The sexism in everything is still there, exactly as it was years ago, but every now and then people feel confident enough to say stuff like that.

"It's still a man's industry and there's still this bias that actually comedy is a man's thing, and it can't be further from the truth."
