Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont have reunited after their split for a special show to raise money.

The pair appeared at the second Jon and Lucy + Friends Comedy Night to raise £100,000 for The Children's Hospital Charity in support of the Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust on May 15, at Sheffield City Hall. Thousands turned out to watch the event, which saw Jon and Lucy reunited.

Jon and Lucy recently announced their divorce after nine years of marriage, with the pair saying the decision to split was made "jointly and amicably".

At the recent comedy night, which was performed at no cost, the pair appeared alongside comedians Maisie Adam, Fatiha El-Ghorri, Russell Kane, and Alan Carr.

Jon said: "It was amazing to return this year and raise even more money for Sheffield Children’s. The atmosphere was just electric.

"There was so much love in the room for The Children’s Hospital Charity because people know how much the work they do means to children and their families."

All the money raised from the event will go towards supporting children's mental health care in Sheffield and beyond. Jon and Lucy also worked with Dan Walker and Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill, fellow patrons of the charity, to help raise the funds.

John Armstrong, CEO of The Children’s Hospital Charity said: "It means so much to the Charity team to see so many supporters of Sheffield Children’s all in one room. Knowing we also had staff, patients and families contributed to an unforgettable evening.

"We are so grateful to our sponsors, volunteers, Jon, Lucy, and their fellow comedians for making the night possible. The vital funds raised for Sheffield Children’s will help to change children’s lives."
