Breaking news: Zoe Ball, the beloved host of Radio 2's Breakfast Show, has announced her departure from the show after dedicating six incredible years to it. This morning, she shared the news with her listeners, citing her desire to focus on her family as the reason for her decision. However, fans need not worry as Zoe will still be a part of the Radio 2 family, with more details to be revealed soon.
In her heartfelt announcement, Zoe expressed her gratitude towards her listeners and the support she has received from her bosses, especially during this challenging year. She also thanked her amazing team and reminisced about the moments shared with her listeners, from the highs to the lows and everything in between.
Zoe's last show will be on December 20, just in time for Christmas. She promised plenty of fun and shenanigans, making sure to end her stint on a high note. But even though she's stepping away from the Breakfast Show, she's not disappearing entirely. She will still be a part of the Radio 2 family, and fans can expect more updates in the New Year. Zoe is excited for this new chapter in her life, including being a mom in the mornings and tuning in on the school run.
Zoe's journey with Radio 2 began in 2006 when she presented documentaries and programs before taking over the Saturday early morning breakfast show. She then moved on to the Saturday afternoon show in 2017, and two years later, she made history as the first woman to host the Radio 2 Breakfast Show, taking over from Chris Evans.
This news comes after Zoe's mysterious six-week absence from her show, which was temporarily filled by Scott Mills. Upon her return, she joked about not having gone to Turkey for a "new face and teeth," but didn't reveal where she had been. She asked her listeners to fill her in on what she had missed and expressed how much she had missed them.
Earlier this year, Zoe experienced a devastating loss as her mother passed away suddenly just 12 weeks after being diagnosed with cancer. She had taken time off work to care for her, and her absence was unexpected. In a more recent update, it was reported that Zoe has sold her mansion to move closer to her ex-husband, DJ Fatboy Slim, with whom she shares two children.
Her son, Woody, spoke about how happy he was to see his mom "sliming through tough times" as she spent time with friends and family, including her ex-husband, at a café in Hove before returning to work.
