Waterloo Road 

Jon Richardson

The BBC has announced that comedian and TV personality Jon Richardson will join the cast of Waterloo Road as a new addition to the staff room when the hit drama returns for its next series later this year. 

The announcement comes as Jon surprised fans on social media yesterday with the revelation that he was retiring from the comedy circuit to pursue teaching. However, there was more to the news than Jon first revealed. Viewers will have to wait for the next series of Waterloo Road to find out exactly who Jon will play, and what lies in store for him at the famous school. 

Jon Richardson said: "I would say that joining Waterloo Road is a dream come true, but in truth most of my dreams about school revolve around not having done my homework or put on my uniform. I wanted to be a teacher growing up so hopefully this role will put all those ambitions to bed, and I can stop telling my friends and family that I will be testing them on what I’ve been saying or telling audiences on tour that it’s their own time they’re wasting."
