Zoe Ball plans return to BBC Radio 2 after leaving breakfast show

News summary

Zoe Ball, the popular BBC presenter, expressed that she is in a 'good place' after stepping down from her demanding BBC Radio 2 breakfast show at the end of last year, a role she held since 2019. Her father, Johnny Ball, noted her relief from the early morning schedule, which previously left her exhausted, and praised her career success, highlighting her high earnings as the BBC's top-paid female presenter. Zoe's departure followed personal challenges, including the death of her mother, Julia Peckham, from cancer, and her own struggles with temporomandibular joint disorder, which causes chronic pain and headaches. She is set to return to the station with a new Saturday show starting in May, offering her a more manageable work-life balance. Despite her challenges, Zoe remains a prominent figure in broadcasting, ranking just behind Gary Lineker in earnings. Johnny also commented on Zoe's resilience and her ability to thrive in the broadcasting industry.
