Zoe Ball's Radio 2 colleagues fail to address her absence after fans voiced concern for the star as Scott Mills steps in for another week By Joanna Crawley For Mailonline Published: 10:43, 16 September 2024 | Updated: 10:52, 16 September 2024 e-mail 21 shares 27 View comments Scott Mills failed to address his Radio 2 colleague Zoe Ball 's absence from the Breakfast Show on Monday, as he stepped in for another week. Zoe hasn't been on the airwaves since August 8, with Scott and Gabby Roslin covering for her since then. Despite a flurry of concerned messages online from fans, Scott opened Zoe's show on Monday with no mention of his absent colleague.
He previously sent a message of support to the star whilst covering her August 12 show, telling listeners that he was unexpectedly taking over. Scott Mills failed to address his Radio 2 colleague Zoe Ball's absence from the Breakfast Show on Monday, as he stepped in for another week '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,' he told listeners, adding that he would be in the hotseat for awhile.
'If you've just put us on this morning, it's Scott Mills in for Zoe for the next few weeks. I'm sending you all my love Zo', as are the team,' he said. Fans and colleagues of Zoe say they are concerned for the DJ, whose annual salary of £950,000 makes her the BBC 's highest-paid woman.
Before leaving her show in August, the star enjoyed a holiday to Ibi.
