“She had an X-ray but it’s okay, it’s just swollen. She’s going to be alright, but she was supposed to go ice skating with her friends from school today but she won’t be able to get her foot in a boot.”
Zoe added: “The things you don’t think are going to happen!”. Zoe and ex-husband Fatboy Slim, Norman Cook, share Nelly and son Woody, 23.
The couple tied the knot in 1999 after meeting in Ibiza two years prior. Sadly, they announced their divorce in 2016 but it’s since been reported the pair have been spending a lot of time together.
Zoe announced she was stepping down from Radio 2 last month. She said: “After six incredible years on the Radio 2 Breakfast Show, it’s time for me to step away from the very early mornings and focus on family.”
She continued: “It’s been a privilege. I think the world of you listeners and I’m grateful to my bosses here for their support, especially this year.
“Huge thanks go to my awesome team on the show, Tina, Mike, and Richie, and of course our listeners, with whom I’ve shared some of life’s highs and lows, the good, the bad, and the daft times.”
Zoe revealed: “My last show will be on Friday, December 20, just in time for Christmas with plenty of fun and shenanigans. While I’m stepping away from the Breakfast Show, I’m not disappearing entirely – I’ll still be a part of the Radio 2 family, with more news in the New Year.”
She added: “I’m excited to embrace my next chapter, including being a mum in the mornings, and I can’t wait to tune in on the school run!” Scott Mills will replace Zoe on her Radio show.
