-
- TV & Film
One of the most recognisable voices on BBC Radio, writer and broadcaster Zoe Ball was announced as the new Radio 2 Breakfast Show host and took over from Chris Evans in January 2019. This was just one of the highlights in a career that has seen her become one of Britain’s most prolific presenters in a career spanning three decades. Born into the world of entertainment thanks to her father Johnny, Zoe began her television career as a runner at Granada Television and researcher for the Cool Cube on BSkyB before securing a presenting role on the BBC children’s series Fully Booked alongside Vernon Kay. In 1996 she united with the talents of Jamie Theakston for the second incarnation of the Saturday Morning juggernaut Live and Kicking before becoming the first female to inherit the infamous Radio 1 Breakfast Show in 1997 and helped to spearhead the laddete culture of the late nineties. Appearing in the third series of the heavyweight Strictly Come Dancing in 2005 partnered by Ian Whaite, she came third which proved to be the start of a long association with the series that climaxed in her presenting the sister show It Takes Two for nine years until 2020. I caught up with one of the most prolific broadcasters of her generation to talk fathers, fame and her recollections on an unparalleled career in broadcasting. Ladies and gentlemen Ms Zoe Ball.
