Zoe Ball has announced she will step down from hosting the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show after six years, with her final show set for December 20, to prioritize her family. She shared emotional farewells to her listeners on air and Instagram. Scott Mills, who has hosted the weekday afternoon show and has been friends with Zoe for over 25 years, will succeed her starting in January. Mills expressed his excitement about taking over the iconic role and recalled how a past mishap by Ball helped launch his career. Zoe will remain with the BBC and has hinted at future projects in 2025. The transition has been met with support from listeners, who praised both Zoe's contributions and welcomed Scott's new role.
