Who is Lucy Beaumont on Celebrity Traitors?
Lucy might not be a household name on the level of Alan Carr or Michael McIntyre but she is well regarded among comedy fans. She was previously married to fellow comedian Jon Richardson as well.
Back in 2011, she rose to prominence after becoming a finalist on So You Think You're Funny. Since then she has had plenty of TV appearances as well as her own shows at Edinburgh Fringe.
She was on Celebrity Gogglebox for a number of seasons with her ex-husband. She was also one of the comedians on Taskmaster in 2023.
Is Lucy Beaumont still on Celebrity Traitors?
One of the faithfuls this season, Lucy has managed to avoid the ire of the traitors yet and hasn’t been ‘murdered’. She also did not come under suspicion at the roundtable.
What has she said about being on Celebrity Traitors?
Explaining her preparation for the show, Lucy said: “Just lying a lot, seeing how good I can lie. People don’t know I’m here at the castle. They think I’ve just popped down to the shops.”
She added: “I don't think game plans work. I’ve seen people think they have a game plan but it always comes undone. I think it's just luck that they've said the right thing at the right time and were aligned with the right people. I don't have a plan for anything, I’m going to go with the flow.”
On whether she wants to be a Traitor, Lucy explained: “I don’t mind which. I think there's a bit less pressure with being a Faithful, but then it'd be hard if people suspected you were a Traitor.
“If you are a Traitor, you can't really blame anyone for pointing the finger at you. All things considered, if I had to pick, I'd rather be a Traitor. I think it's more interesting. But I’d probably not be a very good one.”
