Friday morning saw the end of an era as Zoe Ball presented her last BBC Radio 2 breakfast show. The presenter has woke up with the nation for six years, bringing her own style to the airwaves. But now, she has said goodbye to listeners for the last time. In her final sign off, a tearful Zoe said: "I'm full of feels...".
She went on to thank all the staff on the show, saying: "I adore you all. Thanks to all of you who have sent in questions and played along with the quiz... special shoutout to my friend Jo." She told her to "keep championing" the music. She continued naming all those who were involved in the show and said: "I love you all and I'm going to miss you loads. Shine on you crazy diamonds.".
She went on to proudly say: "Thank you for tuning in, whether as a lone listener, as family, as a work Gang on your morning jogs, dog walks, truck drives, train commutes, or hiding in bed, it's been a real privilege to keep you 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. I really do hope that we've managed to bring some sunshine and light when you've most needed it. A daft distraction from the hardest stuff. I've been bowled over by your messages, texts, emails, cards and letters across the years. Thank you for sharing with me your stories of love and loss, your baby news, your kids leaving home. Together, listeners, there's been much laughter, some silliness, a few tears, lots of singing, and there has been dancing. May there always be dancing.
