Zoe Ball emotionally signs off last Radio 2 Breakfast show with moving final song

Ball became the station’s first full-time female breakfast presenter when she took over from Chris Evans in 2019, and also made history as the first female presenter of BBC Radio 1’s Breakfast show, which she hosted for two years from 1998.

Zoe Ball has emotionally signed off from her final BBC Radio 2 Breakfast show after six years in the hosting chair.

During the programme, Ball reconnected with viewers who have supported her over the years, such as one woman who named her daughter after Ball when the presenter made history as Radio 2’s first female breakfast show host on the day she gave birth six years ago.
