Woody was performing The i360 Brighton Seafront as he threw himself into his performance following his debut at Glastonbury last month.
Stood at the back at the crowd Zoe, 53, beamed as she filmed the set while Norman, 60, was seen punching the air as he danced along. Woody also shared a sweet photo with his parents after his performance as he wrapped his arms around them looking slightly sweaty. The young DJ looked the part as he went topless underneath an open red shirt patterned with white flowers.
Proud parents Zoe Ball and Norman Cook danced along to son Woody’s DJ set as the 23-year-old performed at The i360 Brighton Seafront on Sunday Stood at the back at the crowd Zoe, 53, beamed as she filmed the set while Norman, 60, was seen punching the air as he danced along Meanwhile Zoe kept it simple in a blue top, jeans and shades and Norman looked stylish in a black shirt patterned with different animal skeletons. The couple tied the knot in 1999 but sadly their marriage came to an end in 2016, when they announced they had 'come to the end of their rainbow'. Their appearance comes after Woody exclusively revealed to MailOnline that ADHD [Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder] has helped him become a better DJ, following his Glastonbury debut last month.
He said the condition has now become his 'unique selling point' as he moves around so much behind the decks, he stands out from other DJs. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a behavioural condition defined by inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. Woody told MailOnline: 'Having ADHD has contributed to my style.
I've always jumped around a lot as a person'. 'I was contemplating calling myself Monkey Man as a DJ, by me letting go, it allows the audience to feel it too'. He explained: 'I've become at one with the DJ and the hype man and this inbetween phase, ADHD has really helped with that'.
Woody also shared a sweet photo with his dad after his performance while looking slightly sweaty The young DJ looked the part as he went topless underneath an open red shirt patterned with white flowers Despite his dad's success, he claims to have never been given a lesson and is self-taught (Norman pictured on stage in 2023) Their appearance comes after Woody exclusively revealed to MailOnline that ADHD [Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder] has helped him become a better DJ, following his Glastonbury debut last month 'As a DJ you're a performer, you're not just there to stand there and I think there's definitely part of my set where the crowd moves because I do.'

Despite his dad's success, he claims to have never been given a lesson and is self-taught.
Instead Norman, 60, who's had three Top 10 albums and seven Top 10 singles during his illustrious career, has given him plenty of life advice, rather than technical, as he embarks on a career in music. Woody said: 'He never really gave me any lessons, I didn't touch decks growing up, he gave me more instructional stuff'. 'I would ask him questions like, 'why did you do that in a set?' 'Why did you do this?' 'And he would say "you will never be the best DJ out there, but you can be the most unique?" On a list of ten people, why would they pick you? What would make you unique to a promoter or booker?'.
Woody told MailOnline: 'Having ADHD has contributed to my style. I've always jumped around a lot as a person' He explained: 'As a DJ you're a performer, you're not just there to stand there and I think there's definitely part of my set where the crowd moves because I do' Woody pictured with both his parents in 2015. The couple tied the knot in 1999, but split in 2016 'So he gave me a lot of life lessons rather than actual hands-on stuff.
' Woody added: 'It was just my own curiosity. I was like, 'I'll teach myself.' He describes his music as 'eclectic and energetic' and insists his sets are nothing like his famous father's, claiming there are clear differences between the two.
'I hop genres quite a lot. I go from disco, to house, to garage, to jungle to reggae dance. But whatever I do I try to channel this punk, Prodigy-esque energy and stage presence'.
Woody continued: 'We both definitely have a stage presence, we share the DNA of it because I've watched him DJ for so long my introduction to DJing is what he was doing, so there's an overlap there. 'I play a lot more obscure different genres and he keeps it just to house. And I obviously move a lot more - and that's not just down to age difference.
' The budding DJ is set for a busy summer with yet more gigs, including Mucky Weekender in Winchester, Hants, in September.
