Zoe Ball is presenting her final edition of BBC Radio 2’s breakfast show, after six years in the host’s seat. The 54-year-old announced her departure in November, saying that after “six incredible years” it was “time for me to step away from the very early mornings and focus on family”. Opening the programme on Friday, Ball delivered a few adapted lines of One Day More from the musical Les Miserables.
She said, “Another day, another destiny, one final show from me, ZB – only joking I’m not going to sing, let’s have some Daft Punk.” She then played the French electronic duo’s One More Time, followed by a message she read out from a man who said he was driving home for Christmas early so he could to listen to her last show.
Doctor Who star David Tennant was among the stars paying tribute in a series of pre-recorded messages. “You’ve been so amazing over the last six years, the country is going to miss you,” the actor said. “You’re the best person to have breakfast with. Thank you for letting me come on to your show multiple times and annoy you.”
Other celebrities who paid tribute to Ball include singer Kylie Minogue, who said “Thank you for an incredible six years. The nation loves you and I love you, and every time I’ve been in to see you, it’s been so much fun. We’ve danced around the studio, you, me and your fabulous producing squad, shout out to them… it has all happened with you Zoe. Zoe I wish you all the love, success and joy and everything you want moving on… we love you.”
