Zoe Ball Rejoices ‘I have wandered back’ as she returns to Radio 2
Renowned radio presenter Zoe Ball has made a triumphant return to hosting her BBC show on Radio 2, declaring, “I have wandered back” and casually inquiring, “How was your Brat summer?” Ball, who had been absent from The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show since a brief return on August 8 following a summer hiatus, recently expressed her gratitude towards her colleague and fellow radio host Scott Mills for stepping in during her absence. She kicked off her return by playing Earth, Wind & Fire’s timeless hit, “September.”
The enthusiastic host took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to announce her comeback, sharing, “Back on breakfast @bbcradio2 tomorrow morning at 6:30.” In addition to thanking Scott Mills for covering for her, Ball acknowledged the support of both Mills and Gaby Roslin, who had been filling in for her. A spokesperson from BBC Radio 2 expressed anticipation for Zoe’s return to the Breakfast Show, confirming her return for the following morning without disclosing an exact date earlier.
April saw Ball sharing the heartbreaking news of her mother’s passing on social media, expressing deep sorrow and a longing for her presence. Taking over the Radio 2 morning programme from Chris Evans in 2019, the accomplished presenter has had a stellar career, previously becoming the first female host of the Radio 1 Breakfast Show in 1998. Known for her diverse talents, Ball has also co-hosted popular shows such as Live & Kicking and Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two.
In a widely celebrated career spanning over two decades, Zoe Ball has continually captivated audiences with her infectious energy and engaging presence on the airwaves. Her return to Radio 2 marks a momentous occasion for fans and listeners alike, as they eagerly anticipate her unique blend of warmth, humour, and entertainment that only Zoe Ball can deliver.
