Zoe Ball’s son reveals she’s ‘working at the local cafe’...

LIFE for Zoe Ball has changed dramatically and she is now "working in a local cafe" with her ex-husband Fatboy Slim, according to her son Woody. It comes just weeks after the much-loved broadcaster, 54, waved goodbye to her BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show for good. At the end of last year, Zoe, 54, hung up her headphones and mic and stepped away from the breakfast show. She revealed how she wanted to focus on family after her mother Julia passed away from cancer.

Zoe is now enjoying a more cosy home life in Sussex, after ditching the hustle and bustle of London. The popular presenter - who was earning almost £1M a year from her Radio 2 gig - has now reportedly been "working at a local cafe" with her ex-husband. Spilling the tea, their son Woody told the MailOnline: "In the last five years, it's been funny watching my parents take up gardening both of them.". He then went to reveal that his parents - who were married from 1999 to 2020 - are now working in the local cafe that his dad runs.

Fatboy Slim - real name Norman Cook - owns the Big Beach Cafe in Hove and is often seen working there wearing a name badge reading: "Norm.". "These crazy party people I grew up with are now gardening, making puzzles and working in the local café," Woody said. "It's very funny to see that transitional period, just as I'm kind of leaving the nest and now at the start of something big for me in music.". Speaking about his mum's decision to leave BBC Radio 2, he said: "It's lovely seeing my mum more, because obviously she's had quite a weird schedule for the last few years.".

Zoe bid an emotional farewell to Radio 2 on December 20. Listeners poured in messages of support, including huge celebrities such as Kylie Minogue, David Tennant and Robbie Williams. Woody also left a message for his mum, which had her in tears. "Hey mum, you've done such an amazing job on the Breakfast Show and I just wanted to thank you for making everyone's mornings a bit more magic," her proud son said.

"Here's to a healthier sleeping schedule. Love Woody.". Zoe was the first female host of the Radio 1 and Radio 2'S breakfast shows, taking over at BBC 2 from Chris Evans in 2019. Many will remember she rose to fame as a ladette of the nineties presenting the OZone, Live and Kicking and more before that. As she bid adieu to the Breakfast show to focus on family she began her five-minute on air monologue by saying: "I am obviously full of feels today and I have so many people I want to thank.".
