Steve Coogan Breaks Nose at Zoe Ball, Fatboy Slim 1999 Wedding

Zoe Ball has revealed that actor Steve Coogan broke his nose after jumping into a swimming pool while intoxicated at her 1999 wedding to DJ Fatboy Slim, held at Babington House in Somerset. The BBC Radio 2 presenter shared this story on her podcast Dig It alongside Jo Whiley, cautioning listeners never to swim while drinking. Additionally, Ball recounted another incident where a guest named Will fell into a lake and appeared at the bar covered in pond weed, with Jo Whiley recalling how they had to fish him out of the water. Ball and Fatboy Slim, who split in 2016 after 18 years together, have remained close friends and co-parents to their two children. Both Ball and Coogan have since embraced sobriety, with Ball sober for nearly a decade and Coogan having stopped drinking in 2022. Their son Woody Cook has commented on the parents' shift from wild partying to more subdued hobbies like gardening and working in a local café.
