Zoe's Early Career in TV Presenting

 

The daughter of children's TV presenter Johnny Ball, Zoë was educated at a convent school in Buckinghamshire. She began her television career as a runner at Granada Television and researcher on BSkyB.

 

After presenting the much lauded “Live & Kicking”, in 1999 she became the first woman to front the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show alone. Zoë continued her onscreen partnership with Jamie Theakston after ‘‘Live & Kicking’’ for four successful series of “The Priory” (Ginger Prods for Channel 4.)

 

Top of The Pops & Stricly Come Dancing

Between 1996 and 1998 she was a regular presenter on Top of the Pops usually alternating with fellow presenters and DJs Jayne Middlemiss and Jo Whiley.

She co-hosted the 2002 BRIT Awards with Frank Skinner and returned to radio in mid 2002 when she joined London rock station XFM, where she presented the Weekday Drivetime show.

 

In 2005 after co-hosting the BBC reality show ‘‘Strictly Dance Fever’‘, Zoë tripped the light fantastic as a contestant on BBC1’s “Strictly Come Dancing” and embarked on a celebrity nationwide tour in 2008.
On ITV1, Zoe co-hosted the wildlife series “Extinct” with Trevor MacDonald, presented the second series of “Soapstar Superstar” for the same channel and went onto present ITV1’s nationwide search for a ‘Sandy’ and ‘Danny’ in “Grease Is The Word”.


Zoë completed filming the 8 part series Britains Best Brain alongside Jamie Theakston (once again!) which was aired on Channel 5.


Zoë continues to host her Saturday morning breakfast show on Radio 2, 6am til 8am.
