LUCY Beaumont joked about a divorce from Jon Richardson a YEAR before the couple revealed they had split.
The actress, 40, made the remark during an appearance on Channel 4′s Eight Out Of Ten Cats Does Countdown in 2023.
Host Jimmy Carr introduced team captain Jon to viewers and then his team, which consisted of wife Lucy.
Jimmy brutally said: “Lucy and Jon are married.
“So I know Lucy, everyone watching at home is dying to know… What made you decide to settle?”
Lucy joked: “I don’t see this for life.”
She added: “Isn’t it a song – just passing through? Is it?”
Jimmy questioned: “Just passing through?”
She continued: “You meet in your life old souls, new souls… A***holes.”
The funny woman then pointed out that they’d “had a lovely life together”, and joked she’d never had an avocado before meeting Jon.
Lucy said: “Who knows what will happen in the future.”
Jon then chimed in: “Are you breaking up now?”
The two revealed that they had split after nine years of marriage back in April.
In a statement, they said: “After 9 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.”
Yesterday it was reported that Jon has agreed an eye-watering seven-figure payout to Lucy.
Over the years Jon and Lucy have appeared in a number of TV shows.
Their own Dave programme Meet The Richardsons premiered in 2016 and there have been five successful series.
Last year Lucy opened up about what it was like working with her partner.
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.”
The pair started dating in 2013 after Roisin Conaty introduced them.
They tied the knot in 2015.
Lucy and Jon share daughter Elsie Louise, who Lucy gave birth to in 2016.
The former couple have starred in a number of telly programmes over the years.
Some include mockumentary Meet The Richardsons and Jon & Lucy’s Odd Couples.
