Sources close to the star told MailOnline she has been given 'as much time as she needs' by the BBC, who acted similarly when she took time off in March to care for her ill mother Julia Peckham who passed away from cancer a month later.

Zoe, who is the BBC’s highest paid female star earning £950,000-a-year, has been on extended leave from her show since August 8, with Gaby Roslin and Scott Mills filling in. While listeners grew concerned by her ongoing absence, the 53-year-old DJ was seen out for the first time in weeks, laughing and smiling with her ex-husband Norman Cook, aka Fatboy Slim, outside a café in Hove on Thursday. As Zoe was spotted for the first time in weeks, BBC bosses are said to be doing 'everything they can' to help her return to work when she is ready.
