Zoe Ball's son has broken his silence following the presenter's recent absence on BBC Radio 2. Woody Cook, who Zoe shares with Fatboy Slim said he has "spent a lot more time with her [Zoe] recently" as she has "always been there when I've had tough times". It comes as Zoe has been absent from her Radio 2 breakfast show for a matter of weeks, with the likes of Scott Mills and Gabby Roslin filling the slot instead.
She briefly returned following the death of her mother in April this year after taking time off in March to care for her.

I’m glad to see her smiling.
" In early August, BBC listeners were shocked to hear Scott's voice on the morning show instead of Zoe's on the first day he took over. He explained at the time: "If you set your alarm this morning to go off at 6:30am and normally Zoe comes in, 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. "I'm sending you all my love Zo, as are my team." Recommended reading: What's happened to Zoe Ball?
