Comedians Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont have announced they are divorcing after nine years of marriage.
In a statement, the couple said they had “jointly and amicably made the difficult decision to divorce and go our separate ways”.
They added: “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.”
The couple have starred together in the mockumentary Meet The Richardsons – in which they play “exaggerated versions of themselves” – since 2020.
Beaumont was nominated in 2023 for a BAFTA TV award in the best female performance in a comedy programme category for her part in the show.
The duo, who have a daughter, also starred together on Celebrity Gogglebox.
Beaumont, a stand-up comic from Hull, whose routines often feature anecdotes about her home city, has appeared on panel shows such as Have I Got News For You.
She also appeared as a contestant on the 16th series of the comedy game show, Taskmaster, which was broadcast last year.
