The radio presenter told listeners that she'd "wandered back" to her breakfast show Zoe Ball has returned to BBC Radio 2 after being absent for the past six weeks. The radio station’s afternoon presenter Scott Mills had been hosting Ball’s morning programme in her place before the veteran host returned this morning (September 23). Prior to her return, Ball had not presented the breakfast show since August 8, and Mills took over on August 12.
“If you set your alarm every morning to go off at 6:30am and normally Zoe comes on, please do not freak out. You have not overslept. If you’ve just put us on this morning, it’s Scott Mills in for Zoe for the next few weeks,” Mills said when he stepped in (per BBC ).
“I’m sending you all my love Zo’, as are the team.” At the start of her Monday show, Ball told listeners: “Morning gorgeous people it’s me Zoe the happy wanderer. I’ve wandered back.
