The Blackpool-born star said she was leaving the show to focus on family
BBC presenter Zoe Ball has announced she is stepping down from hosting the Radio 2 breakfast show after six years in December.
Scott Mills said he is “beyond excited” to replace Zoe Ball on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show following her departure next month. She will host her last show on December 20 with Mills, who currently hosts Radio 2’s weekday afternoon programme from 2-4pm, set to begin fronting the programme from early January.
Ball was the first female host of the Radio 1 Breakfast Show in 1998, a post she held until 2000. She also co-hosted the BBC’s Saturday morning children’s magazine Live & Kicking alongside Jamie Theakston for three years from 1996. “I’m excited to embrace my next chapter, including being a mum in the mornings, and I can’t wait to tune in on the school run!”
