Zoe Ball has sparked concern after confirming she would miss another week of her BBC radio show. Fans of the presenter have issued a plea to Zoe to return to her Radio 2 show after she had missed several weeks of hosting her show. After disappearing from the programme, BBC bosses confirmed her Radio colleague Scott Mills will continue standing in for the star.
Schedules for this week show that Scott, who previously hosted his own show on Radio 1, would be taking to the mic instead of Zoe from Monday to Friday. To make up for Scott's absence from his own show, DJ Spoony and OJ Borg will be filling for him, as he is asked to present the breakfast show. It has been five weeks since Zoe was last able to present her own show, having been on the airwaves last on August 8.
Since then, Gaby Roslin and Scott Mills have filled in for the star, though the reasons for where Zoe has gone continue to be kept under wraps. Speaking to the Mirror newspaper, a spokesperson for the BBC said the presenter will be back on the mic later this month, but did not give details on when she would be back. They also did not confirm the reasons for why Zoe has taken time off from the show.
Now, after five weeks of absence, fans are now concerned for the host and are asking for answers to calm their worries. BBC Radio's social media platforms have been inundated with messages of love and support for the host, with many pleading for an update on the presenter. One fan penned: "What has happened to Zoe Ball?.
