Comedian Lucy Beaumont says she has given up competing on TV quizzes because she keeps embarrassing her grandad.
The stand-up comic, who is originally from Hull, has appeared on several game shows including Celebrity Mastermind, The Weakest Link and Michael McIntrye’s The Wheel, where she lost contestants large amounts of money several times.
Beaumont said while she describes herself as “an intelligent person”, she “just can’t retain knowledge”.
She said her grandfather’s neighbours, in South Cave, East Yorkshire, “watch everything I do” and she felt like she was “letting down” the village.
