Since first barrelling onto our screens as a staple of Saturday morning TV back in the 1990’s Zoe Ball has continued to capture the hearts of the nation as a BBC radio DJ and of course, as the host of Strictly Come Dancing ’s It Takes Two.
Marriage to Fatboy Slim Zoe’s first romance came with husband Norman Cook, who is better known to fans for his DJ persona Fatboy Slim. The couple first began dating in the late 1990’s while she was working at BBC Radio 1. “I just thought he’s wild and free and fun and it was sort of the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”
The happy couple welcomed two beautiful children throughout their marriage, their 22-year-old son Woody and 13-year-old daughter Nelly - with Woody even having appeared with her on Gogglebox. Heartbroken by the news, Zoe was understandably overcome with grief, as she had previously been “head over heels” for Billy and thought things had been going well between the pair.
Finding love again with Michael Reed Two years after Billy’s heartbreaking death, Zoe once again turned her attention towards the possibility of love, when she began dating Michael Reed, a construction firm boss in 2018.
