It was an end of an era this morning when Zoe Ball bid a final farewell to her BBC Radio 2 breakfast show. The presenter was emotional throughout her last ever edition of the morning show after six years. And, after a powerful end speech, she decided to play Kim Wilde's Keeping The Dream Alive in which to bow out.
However, she did make a shock announcement to her fans, promising to be back on the Radio 2 airwaves next year. As she signed off, Zoe said: "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.".
