Sue Perkins is no longer single. The acclaimed comedian and presenter, 57, has moved on with a new partner following her split from fellow television presenter Anna Richardson.
The TV presenter reportedly separated from Naked Attraction host Anna, 56, after seven years together and has remained private about her romantic life ever since.
Speaking on the How To Fail podcast with Elizabeth Day, the comedian referred to her new partner publicly for the first time – while keeping her identity under wrap.Â

‘I was crying this morning about something. I was talking to my partner and it was like, why do we read the news every morning?’ Sue said.
‘There was a seven-year-old girl’s face on the news and she lived in Gaza and knew how the story ended.
‘And it’s not just that, which is horrific in itself, but it’s the compound news story, the one after another. And why do we do it to ourselves?’
Sue went on to explain that her partner had been unwell recently, explaining how they had spent time baking together as a distraction.
She said: ‘Yesterday I was with mates and we were making bread. I don’t make bread. My partner’s not very well, and I was very aware that making the bread was such an intense diversionary tactic. So I helped her. And we silently made a very complicated bread.’
Sue’s new romance comes five years after she and Anna ended their relationship, having first fallen for one another at a party in 2013.
Their split was reported in June 2021, with sources claiming both women were devastated by the decision.
