Celebrity Gogglebox Lucy Beaumont on why she would divorce comedian husband Jon Richardson

Yorkshire comedy couple Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont tickled Celebrity Gogglebox viewers with their sharp and surreal bickering.

And Lucy, the creator of Hullraisers, cited a reason she would use if she were to divorce her stand-up comic husband Jon Richardson. The couple were watching One Question where a pair of NHS workers had to identify things from the year 2000.

An incorrect answer referred to the tragic movie Titanic, released in 1997. The film was commercially successful but critically panned.

Jon, known for his dry wit, admits to Lucy that he's watched the film, starring Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet, six times. Lucy is distinctly unimpressed and recreates talking to a family lawyer.

She says: "On what grounds are you getting divorced? He watched Titanic six times."

The couple, who live in the Calder Valley, near Halifax, continue with their humorous sniping, much to viewers' amusement. Lucy swipes at Jon for failing to clean the roasting tray properly and Jon hits back at his wife's habit of leaving her Weetabix bowl in the bedroom.

Daz Boot tweets: "Jon Richardson and his wife are brilliant. Totally normal conversations not trying hard whatsoever."

@TetheredPriest tweets: "Jon and Lucy on Celeb Gogglebox is just like an expansion of Meet the Richardsons."

@BurnzyH tweets: "Watching @gogglebox and I can one-up @RonJichardson coz I saw Titanic in the cinema 10 times. Yes Jon, 10! Not that makes me any cooler right enough."
