Zoe Ball announced on Tuesday that she will be leaving her role as BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show host after six years
BBC Radio 2 presenter Zoe Ball surprised listeners on Tuesday when she announced her departure from the show after a six-year stint, and now the real reason behind her decision has been 'revealed'. The 53-year-old expressed her heartfelt gratitude, stating she is "really touched" by the outpouring of well-wishes following her announcement to step down as host of BBC Radio 2's Breakfast Show.
TV favourite Rylan Clark praised Zoe for "being the best wake-up for the past six years" while also commending Mills in his Instagram stories: "Scott, I've never been more happy for someone. If you grazed your knee you would bleed radio. I know how much this means to you and I'm so so proud of you". Though enamoured with her role, Zoe couldn't help but comment on the dreaded morning alarm: "But I won't miss the 4am alarm call, if I'm completely honest."
Reports suggest that Zoe Ball left her Radio 2 role to focus more on her family, particularly after the death of her mother earlier this year. "She simply wants to live differently, which means having more of a family life," an insider disclosed to Mail Online.
