Zoe Ball has confirmed that she will not receive the same pay as Chris Evans for hosting Radio 2’s breakfast show.
She began presenting as a stand-in on Radio 2 in 2006, having her own Saturday morning show between 2009 and 2012.
She moved across to radio in 1997, becoming the first female presenter of the Radio 1 breakfast show alongside Kevin Greening.
Under Evans’s tenure as host, the Radio 2 breakfast show has become the most morning show in the UK, attracting an average 9 million listeners every morning.
