Lucy Beaumont explains one thing she's ‘guilty’ of after Jon Richardson divorce
Lucy Beaumont has explained the one regret she has from her and Channel 4 star Jon Richardson's divorce. Lucy and Jon, who had a BBC reality TV series together, shocked fans by calling it quits in a surprise statement earlier this year.
Lucy has now explained the one thing she feels ‘guilty’ about. The former couple revealed that they had split after nine years of marriage back in April. Lucy has since admitted that she feels "guilty" about opening up her private and family life to the extent she did.
"I don't regret anything. But equally, [over] this next stage I am very much keeping my personal life personal," she told The Sunday Times. "I sometimes feel guilty that I talked about my daughter and my marriage, and my mum and my dad."

The comedian explained: "I think partly I was feeling grateful, grateful that I was getting the work, grateful that I was being interviewed, and feeling like I had to sacrifice and share everything." Lucy, who was diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) at 40, said she now "understands" herself more.
She shared: "It's interesting being 40 and suddenly understanding a part of yourself when previously you've just thought you were a little bit unhinged." Lucy added: "It means your brain doesn't want you to organise things. For some reason, it doesn't want to make life easy for you. I'll get from A to B but I'll exhaust myself doing it. The brain chatter of just going for a cup of tea with a friend."
Speaking about her life lately, Lucy told OK! Magazine : "I don't feel any different really." She continued: "Just a bit angrier and not willing to take any s*** from anyone." Lucy added: "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.
"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." She previously said: "'We like working together and enjoy Meet The Richardsons and we really wanted to make something that people could relate to.
"Meet The Richardsons is basically an excuse for us to channel tensions into comedy and you see that in the studio, someone might start saying something thinking they’re going to land a blow but as soon as us and the audience start laughing at them, they realise it’s all nonsense."
