Lucy Beaumont has joined a new TV co-star for an adventure series, months after her split from Jon Richardson.

In a recent episode of World's Most Dangerous Roads, she braved Montenegro's perilous terrain alongside Johnny Vegas.

The TV series sees two celebrities navigate some of the world’s most treacherous roads. Originally airing on BBC Two from 2011 to 2013, narrated by Adrian Dunbar, the show was revived by Dave in 2023.

Lucy’s new venture comes shortly after her split from Jon Richardson, ending their nine-year marriage.

The couple, who married in April 2015 and share a daughter, had found success with their comedy show Meet the Richardsons, which lightheartedly explored their relationship.

However, fans were left shocked when they announced they were parting ways in April this year.

A statement from the couple said: “After nine years of marriage, we would like to announce that we have separated. 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.”

Jon, 42, and Lucy, 40, started dating in 2013 after they met each other through their comedian and actress friend Roisin Conaty. They had a daughter Elsie Louise in 2016 – the same year they started Dave’s mockumentary show Meet the Richardsons.

They have also collaborated on various shows, including last year’s Channel 4 series Jon and Lucy’s Odd Couples. A year before their breakup, the pair dismissed rumours of any cracks in their relationship. In an interview last year, Beaumont admitted their on-screen personas for the show, in which they often bicker, were not a true reflection of their real-life relationship.

"It's been great, but I see comments on social media and people don't seem to realise it's not real," she told the Sunday Post. "I don't henpeck - we wouldn't have lasted this long if I was as mean to him in real life."

On the concept for the show, she added: "You don't want to see a smug couple in love, in a nice house, with a stable career and a lovely little child. Who wants to see that?"

In a separate interview with The Guardian last year, Richardson said: "Every couple argues, but we have an end product for our arguments. We hone them, then put them on TV. And then it's like: 'Oh, perhaps we weren't arguing - perhaps we were just working on a routine.'"
