Over the weekend, Zoe Ball made her live return to BBC Radio 2 straight from Glastonbury, where she appeared particularly content and joyful in the company of an unidentified individual.
On the station’s Instagram, images were posted showing the 54-year-old presenter laughing it up with American artist Brandi Carlile.

In pictures uploaded on the station’s Instagram, the 54-year-old host was seen chuckling alongside American singer Brandi Carlile.
Both sentences convey the same meaning and are easy to read.
Another photo showed Zoe with BBC Radio 6 DJ Matt Everitt, as the duo cosied up for a snap.
Zoe donned a Beastie Boys t-shirt, radiating good mood, while taking leisure time with other celebrities backstage.
After the public spotted me seemingly intertwining fingers with an individual bearing a striking resemblance to my former spouse, Fatboy Slim (Norman Cook), during the music festival at Worthy Farm, I find myself reflecting on the fluidity of relationships and personal growth.
In photos taken by The Sun, Zoe appeared relaxed in a black outfit, complete with sunglasses that hid her eyes.

The person accompanying her, standing tall with a mix of black and white hair similar to Fatboy Slim (aged 61), kept hold of her hand while they navigated the exclusive section of Worthy Farm.
A bystander informed the media that ‘Zoe is attending Glastonbury Festival as a spectator. She’s brought her latest beau with her, and they appeared very content, walking together hand in hand.’
Everyone was taken aback by the resemblance between her partner and Fatboy, but it’s wonderful to see Zoe beaming with joy once more, they commented.
TopMob have contacted Zoe’s reps for comment.
In the year 2016, after spending 17 years as a couple, Zoe and Norman, who are parents to son Woody, aged 24, and daughter Nelly, 14, announced their separation. Their divorce was finalized in the year 2020.
Zoe maintains a tight bond with Norman and it’s rumored she has relocated from her £2 million country estate in Sussex to a townhouse nestled between Brighton and Hove, as it is conveniently located near his residence.
Zoe and Norman have given up drinking, as they’ve acknowledged their struggles with alcohol. They’ve spent time in rehabilitation facilities in the past.
Previously, Norman acknowledged that his ex-wife played a significant role in grounding him during the peak of his celebrity status.

During those chaotic times, I had to maintain control over my self-importance, as I shared with Changes podcast.
Even though you have the freedom to bend or break the rules, there are many individuals who would allow you to act unscrupulously, perhaps even getting away with something as severe as manslaughter.
Zoe turned out to be incredibly beneficial for me, as she was well-versed in navigating the world of celebrity, and we served as mutual checks on one another.
In my interactions with others, I strive to always maintain respect. If I should ever lapse in this regard, she would gently correct me by saying, “Hey, let’s remember our manners here. Please go back and express your gratitude for their kindness.
We effectively balanced one another, preventing excessive enthusiasm or extravagance by each other’s side, as it can be challenging when people are constantly encouraging with gifts, offers, and praise like: “Take this, it’s for you! Drink this, you deserve it. You’re amazing.
It can be challenging to maintain boundaries and assert, “I’m just a regular person, not a celebrity.” However, it seems like we managed to avoid a great deal of unnecessary complications by doing so.
Two years following their split in 2014, Norman admitted that he was still healing the emotional scars from his broken relationship with Zoe in 2016.
Back then, I was completely smitten, following the romantic journey of Zoe and her beau, Michael Reed. Yet, hearing that the renowned DJ had decided to focus on himself and rule out dating, I couldn’t help but feel a pang in my heart. It seemed as if his heart wasn’t quite ready to embrace love once more.
‘I’m single, I’m definitely not on Tinder,’ he told the Daily Star at the time.
18 years have passed since I found myself in a similar predicament, and I must admit, I’ve grown rusty on the rules. Truthfully, my heart isn’t quite prepared yet; it’s still bearing the scars from past experiences.
Norman and Zoe started their love story back in 1997, when they first crossed paths in Ibiza. Two years after their initial meeting, they exchanged vows in the beautiful setting of Babington House located in Somerset, where they officially became a married couple.
Back in 2003, I found myself in a challenging situation when news broke about an affair I had with a dear friend of my husband’s, DJ Dan Peppe. We took a brief pause to navigate through this difficult time.

After the disclosure, Norman stated that he continued to cherish Zoe and was willing to reconcile with her, on the condition that she vowed never to associate with Peppe ever again.
In his own words, the talented artist admitted back then: “I’m still in love with her. If one truly loves someone, they will find it within themselves to forgive.
‘I’ve spoken to her today and she is genuinely remorseful.’
Back in September 2016, they officially ended their relationship permanently. This decision came nine months after a public incident at the December 2015 holiday gathering for Strictly Come Dancing’s BBC2 sister show, It Takes Two. At this event, Zoe was spotted hugging singer Tay Tay Starhz, who was only 22 years old and associated with Franklin Lake.
In unison, they expressed their sorrow with these words: ‘We regretfully inform you that we have parted ways.’
After her divorce from Fatboy Slem, Zoe fell in love anew with her partner Billy Yates. Tragically, Billy passed away in May 2017.
Following a prolonged struggle against depression, Billy, aged 40, tragically ended his life at his residence in Putney, London, in May 2017.
Earlier, the Radio 2 host expressed her sincere appreciation that he had bid farewell to her during their last encounter.
