Presenter thanks listeners for ‘special intimate relationship’ and signs off with message of female empowerment. Zoe Ball’s final BBC Radio 2 show was a spectacle of laughter and tears, as the presenter was flooded with messages of support, including a surprise message from her son.
Saying that she hoped she “managed to bring some sunshine and light” to listeners when they most needed it, the radio presenter thanked all her listeners, saying: “It’s been a real privilege to keep your company through your morning manoeuvres. You’re just there and I’m just here having a chat with a mate. It’s such a special intimate relationship.
“It’s never lost on me that we’ve been through life’s little highs and little lows together,” added Ball, who has stepped down from the programme after six years at the helm to “focus on family”. “I really do hope that we’ve managed to bring some sunshine and light when you’ve most needed a daft distraction from the hardest stuff. I’ve been bowled over by your messages, texts, emails, cards and letters across the years.”.
Woody, Ball’s 24-year-old son with her former husband, Norman Cook AKA Fatboy Slim, sent a message saying: “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. Here’s to a healthier sleeping schedule. Love Woody.’.
