Popular presenter, Zoe Ball, who shares two kids with her ex, Norman Cook – also known as DJ Fatboy Slim – stunned fans when she quit her Radio 2 show live on air on Saturday
Zoe Ball has reunited with her ex, Norman Cook, after leaving fans gobsmacked when she quit her Radio 2 role live on air.
The mum-of-two, 55, who shares son, Woody, 24, and daughter, Nelly, 16 with the Fatboy Slim star, 62, returned to the station in May after stepping down from her breakfast show. However, she has now announced she will be leaving her Saturday afternoon show too after just seven months.
As the dust settles on her latest decision, Zoe took her her mind off work this weekend as she reunited with her ex-husband to celebrate Nelly’s 16th birthday. Sharing a video of the birthday girl, standing proudly behind a DJ booth with her famous family, alongside a silver disco ball, Zoe showed off the personalised balloons for her daughter as a well as a huge sign, which read: ‘Holy s**t! You’re 16!’

In one snap, Nelly, sporting long dark hair, white vest and a mini skirt grins alongside her brother, who rocks a patterned shirt and sizeable moustache.
And on the topic of shirts, Fatboy Slim can be seen sporting a fabulous creation, which is covered in adorable prints of his daughter when she was little.
Zoe and Norman were together for 18 years before splitting in 2016. It was a rocky road at times for the pair and they briefly split in 2003 after Zoe had an affair with DJ Dan Peppe.
However, now they are good pals and are often seen together, supporting their children. Last year, Zoe’s father Johnny Ball, who has spoken out on her decision to quit her Radio 2 role, revealed their relationship was better now than it had been when they were married.
He told Boom Radio: “They’re very good friends today, you know. They’re great friends. They’re divorced, but they’re better….If you like, they’re closer today than they were when they were married. And that’s a lovely thing. It’s a lovely thing.”
On Saturday, Zoe stunned fans when she announced she was quitting her Radio 2 gig – again – and will be replaced by Emma Willis.
Confirming the news, she told listeners: “I have loved being betwixt my dear friends Romesh (Ranganathan) and Rylan (Clark), and you know, I love you all to bits, but I’m not disappearing completely.
“Obviously, it’ll be Christmas Crooners, and I’m doing an eras show in the new year, more on that later. But I am thrilled to tell you that you will be in the safest of hands, because there is a superwoman who is no stranger to you all, but this does mean that she will officially become a member of the Radio 2 family.
“You’ll have loved her on The Voice, The Circle, Big Brother, Cooking With The Stars, Love Is blind, and delivering babies, she’s a gorgeous lass, so welcome to the BBC Radio 2 family and Saturday afternoons, Emma Willis.”
