Fatboy Slim's Mother Dies on Christmas Day

Woody Cook, son of DJ Fatboy Slim (Norman Cook) and radio presenter Zoe Ball, announced the passing of his grandmother, Ros, on Christmas Day. In an emotional tribute on Instagram, the 24-year-old described her as an 'amazing woman' who was 'ready to start her next life', reflecting on how losing two grandparents this year has deepened his focus on family.
