News about Roisin Conaty

Meet The Richardsons fans fear the mockumentary may end after comedian Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont's call it day on their nine-year marriage. The couple who met in 2013 through Roisin Conaty, play 'exaggerated versions of themselves,' in the show which has had a five-series run. The mockumentary has seen great success, with Beaumont being nominated for a BAFTA TV award in the comedy programme category in 2023.

Just one day after ordering a strike that will'effectively shut down the railway network next month, RMT union baron Mick Lynch (right) will appear on BBC's Have I Got News For You. The RMT general-secretary will be included in the BBC comedy quiz show's panel, as well as comedian Roisin Conaty and actor Richard Ayoade (inset), who will appear on the show. Mr Lynch has been dubbed a'media celebrity' for his many straight-talking interviews on television and radio in which he has defended numerous strikes that have crippled the UK's railways and caused widespread disruption to millions of people. His appearance on Have I Got News For You comes just one day after RMT revealed that 40,000 Network Rail employees and 15 train operating companies would protest a walkout on October 8.
