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. “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.
“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!” However, since the announcement, the BBC has confirmed further changes to its current presenter line-up and schedule at Radio 2. Scott Mills will be the new presenter of the legendary Radio 2 Breakfast Show each weekday morning, moving on from the weekday afternoon programme (2-4pm). Scott said: “Zoe and I have been such good friends now for over 25 years and have spent much of that time as part of the same radio family here at Radio 2 and also on Radio 1.
“She's done an incredible job on this show over the past six years, and I am beyond excited to be handed the baton. �.
