The 53-year-old presenter has been missing from her regular slot for the past five weeks, sparking curiosity among her audience.

However, indications suggest she might be returning to the airwaves sooner rather than later. Zoe took a hiatus in August following a brief pause to commemorate her late mother's birthday, who sadly passed away in April, a mere 12 weeks after a cancer diagnosis. Expected to resume her show on August 5, Zoe was notably absent, with other presenters stepping in, the Mirror reports.

In the wake of her mother's death, Zoe paid homage with an emotional post on social media, stating: "Thank you for teaching us how to love unconditionally, to always show courage and empathy, and how, even in the darkest of days, laughter is the greatest of gifts. "We are bereft without you but will hold so tight to each other. Your grace and your smile that lit up every room you were in, will light the stars to guide us.
