This week’s new series of Taskmaster brings a fresh batch of comedians to our screens, including Lucy Beaumont, who is not the first in her family to take part in the competition. Lucy’s husband, comedian Jon Richardson, was runner-up in 2016 – but the Meet The Richardsons star says she wasn’t too bothered about getting tips from her other half. “He said, ‘Really think about the prize you take in’ – but I didn’t listen to him,” she admits.
“He does give me advice for a lot of shows we do but I don’t listen.

You learn a lot about yourself.” “I learnt that I’m feral,” she laughs. “I would just do everything in quite an animalistic way.” Despite embracing her wild side in the competition, Lucy doesn’t reckon she fared particularly well. “I try to not go into anything thinking I’ll do well - I don’t think I’m very good at doing anything,” she says.
“Not even making a cup of tea. But on the show, I wasn’t proven right and I wasn’t proven wrong.” She says one improvement Channel 4 could make would be to up its incentives. “I never had that thing of wanting to win.
