Radio presenter Zoe Ball has announced that she will be stepping down from her role as the host of Radio 2’s Breakfast Show in December. Ball had been presenting the programme for six years, but has decided to focus on her family and step away from the early morning starts. She will be staying with the station, and more details about her future role will be announced next year.
Ball revealed that her replacement will be Scott Mills, who will leave his current afternoon show slot to take over the breakfast programme. Ball’s final show will take place on December 20th, with Mills taking over the following week. Speaking about her decision on-air, Ball said she would miss her listeners and colleagues, but confirmed that she wouldn’t miss the early starts.
