I loved the later setting of Hebden Bridge having lived in Bradford for 9 years and also loved the earlier home life tales from Surbiton, 2 vastly different places yet more similar than you would imagine That’s one of Taskmaster’s joys: it’s not only kind, but also the only place on television that allows comedians to fully reveal themselves and to be celebrated for whoever they are.

I thought as long as I put some funny parts in, I could be honest with the retelling of all these events.’

She felt the responsibility to please during the filming of Taskmaster, too. “Alex [Horne, Taskmaster creator and co-presenter] sort of watches you. You feel like you’re letting him down,” she says. “I always felt: there’s an intelligent way of doing this and I don’t know what it is.” It didn’t matter though: “We were immersed in play. You don’t really get that chance as an adult to play. It was therapeutic.”

After university, she briefly worked as a teaching assistant. When one of her first acting jobs after university fell through, Beaumont took on a job as a cleaner at the university to make a living, leading her to joke later that she was probably the only person with both a BA and an NVQ from the University of Hull.
