Zoe Ball is back on BBC Radio 2, asking what she's missed during her unexplained absence.

After a six-week absence, Zoe Ball has finally returned to her beloved Radio 2 Breakfast Show. Fans were left puzzled by her sudden departure, but this morning, the bubbly presenter greeted her listeners with her signature enthusiasm.

"Morning gorgeous people, it's me Zoe the happy wanderer. I've wandered back," she announced at 6:30, much to the delight of her loyal fans. She then asked about their summer, jokingly mentioning that in the 90s, it was called something different. She also shared her hopes that they had been enjoying the beautiful sunsets, before admitting that it was a bit soggy on her end this morning. "Take it easy out on the road," she advised.

Zoe took a moment to thank her dear friend, Scott Mills, for covering her show while she was away. She playfully joked that she hadn't gone to Turkey for a new face and teeth, but didn't reveal where she had actually been. "What have I missed? Text me. I've missed ya!" she exclaimed.

It turns out that Zoe was last on the radio on August 8, and Scott had been filling in for her since then. He had not mentioned the reason for her absence, only telling listeners not to panic if they were expecting Zoe's voice at 6:30. "It's Monday. You aren't late for work," he reassured them.

Zoe has been a BBC DJ for many years and is loved by her listeners for her upbeat personality and genuine passion for music. However, earlier this year, she suffered a heartbreaking loss when her mother passed away just twelve weeks after being diagnosed with cancer. Zoe had taken time off to care for her mother, who had been battling pancreatic cancer.
