BBC Radio 2 presenter Zoe Ball shared her thoughts on the matter, just weeks after she was spotted holding hands with a mystery man at Glastonbury Festival
Zoe Ball has given her take on whether sleeping in separate bedrooms could spark the end of a relationship. Speaking with Jo Whiley on their Dig It podcast, the duo addressed a listener seeking their opinion on the topic.
The listener, Emma, told the pair she was “exhausted” because her husband’s sleeping habits, such as snoring, disrupts her sleep every night.
Due to this, Emma said she’s contemplating moving to the guest bedroom, but confessed: “But part of me worries if we end up sharing a bed, is that the beginning of the end?”.
Offering her guidance, Zoe, 54, said: “Emma I feel for you, in our household it’s probably the other way round. I’m the one who gets up to pee a lot and I’m the one who snores.
“I’ve had complaints from the kids in separate rooms who can hear my snoring. Beginning of the end, separate bedrooms?”.
Jo went on to confess that she doesn’t share a bed with her long-term husband, but stressed it hasn’t damaged her marriage.
“So yeah separate bedrooms all the way,” she declared.
Zoe added: “I have been known to occasional get up and go and sleep somewhere else if it’s Nel [Nelly, her daughter] or you know, to let someone have a restful night if I’m restless or to get a restful night if someone else is restless, you know with colds and flus and bugs and things like that.
“And I guess there is that thing where you get that nice little bit of sneaking back in in the morning, but yeah this is the problem, the sleeping habits thing is tough isn’t it?”.
Zoe added that her sleep is often disrupted by listening to episodes of Newscast or Desert Island Discs, adding of a particular night: “I didn’t go to sleep at all, it was a complete disaster.”
The BBC Radio 2 presenter shared her thoughts after being spotted hand-in-hand with a man at Glastonbury Festival, back in June.
An onlooker who saw the pair said they “seemed blissfully happy and were strolling along holding hands”.
“She was really smiling at him as they walked along and he was very protective of Zoe and put his hand across her back,” they further told The Sun.
“People were doing double takes at her bloke though because he looks a lot like Fatboy. It’s so great to see Zoe smiling again.”
Zoe was previously married to Norman Cook, better known as Fatboy Slim, with whom she shares two children Woody, 20, and Nelly, 14.
Following their separation, she moved on with Billy Yates, who tragically took his own life in 2017 aged 40.
