‘She was an amazing woman,’ Woody Cook said after second loved one dies in 2024. Fatboy Slim’s mum died on Christmas Day – eight months after the death of ex-wife Zoe Ball’s mother, their son Woody has announced. He said that “losing two grandparents this year has really made me grow and made me focus a-lot more on family”.
Ball, who left her BBC Radio 2 breakfast show earlier this month, sent her son a series of heart emojis in response. Fatboy Slim, whose real name is Norman Cook, is yet to comment on the death of his mother, Ros. The “Praise You” DJ separated from Ball after 21 years of marriage in 2019.
Woody, who previously appeared as a contestant on reality show The Circle, also took time to share “the ups” of the year, writing: “I’m having a blast in New York, was homesick on my Birthday and Christmas but I’ve been working really hard on music and it’s really paying off. My friends over here are so lovely and feel like family.
“Life always goes on x New year’s resolution is to make every second count… Safe travels Ros and thank you for everything.”. Ball was left “bereft” in April after the death of her own mother, whom she cared for before she was moved to a hospice.
Announcing news of Julia’s death from advanced pancreatic cancer, Ball told her followers: “Sleep tight dear Mama. “Thank you for teaching us how to love unconditionally, to always show courage and empathy, and how, even in the darkest of days, laughter is the greatest of gifts.
