Sad news for Fatboy Slim as his mother passes away on Christmas, his son and Zoe Ball honoring her memory.

Woody Cook, the son of Zoe Ball and Fatboy Slim, recently shared some heartbreaking news. He revealed that his paternal grandmother, affectionately known as 'Granny Ros', had passed away on Christmas Day. In a touching tribute message, the 24-year-old DJ praised his grandmother as an amazing woman who was ready to move on to her next life.

While Fatboy Slim, whose real name is Norman Cook, has not publicly paid tribute to his mother's passing, he did share an Instagram story featuring his 'tattoo of the week' just hours before his son broke the news. This loss is a double blow for the family, as Zoe Ball also lost her mother, Julia Peckham, earlier this year.

In his tribute, Woody shared a photo of himself, his grandparents, and his younger sister Nell, who was recently rushed to the hospital after a freak accident. He reflected on the ups and downs of the year, including his move to New York where he is currently working on new music. Woody also expressed how losing two grandparents in one year has made him appreciate the importance of family.

The aspiring musician also thanked his grandmother for inspiring him and her optimistic mentality. He ended his tribute by wishing her safe travels and thanking her for everything. The post was flooded with hundreds of comments offering condolences, including one from Doctor Who icon Russell T Davies.

Zoe Ball also commented on her son's post, sharing some stars and heart emojis as a sign of her love and support. The family has undoubtedly been through an incredibly difficult year, with the loss of both of Woody's grandparents and Zoe's mother's cancer diagnosis in February.

Zoe, who is a Radio 2 presenter, announced her mother's diagnosis in early March and took some time away from her show to care for her. Sadly, just 12 weeks later, the family said their final goodbyes. Zoe has since taken a step back from her Breakfast Show, with Scott Mills taking over in January.

The shocking announcement of her mother's passing came after Zoe's unexplained absence from the show, leaving fans heartbroken. She later revealed that she was suffering from TMJ, a disorder that causes extreme tenderness and pain in the jaw. On her final show, Zoe was in tears, but she has reportedly been supported by her ex-husband Fatboy Slim throughout this difficult year.

It has been a tough year for the Ball-Cook family, but their love and support for each other continue to shine through. As they move forward into the new year, they plan to make every second count and honor the memory of their loved ones.
