However, she admitted one thing she won’t miss is the early starts:

“I won’t miss the 4am alarm call, if I’m completely honest. You know I love you all to bits.”

Listeners React

Fans have taken to social media to express their gratitude and support for Ball, praising her warmth and energy on the breakfast slot. Meanwhile, excitement is building for Mills’ new role, with many lauding his humour and longstanding rapport with listeners.

What’s Next for Zoe?

While Ball will leave the breakfast slot, her future role at Radio 2 remains under wraps. The BBC has promised further updates about her next chapter early in 2025.

Zoe Ball became the first female host of the Radio 2 Breakfast Show when she succeeded Chris Evans in January 2019. Her tenure has been marked by record listener numbers and her heartfelt connection with her audience.
