Zoe Ball’s BBC Radio 2 Breakfast replacement revealed as presenter reveals she’s stepping down
The popular presenter – who was earning almost £1million a year from her Radio 2 gig – has reportedly been “working at a local cafe” with her ex-husband.
Spilling the tea, their son Woody told the MailOnline: “In the last five years, it’s been funny watching my parents take up gardening both of them.”
“These crazy party people I grew up with are now gardening, making puzzles and working in the local café,” Woody said.
“It’s very funny to see that transitional period, just as I’m kind of leaving the nest and now at the start of something big for me in music.”
DJ and record producer Norman owns the Big Beach Cafe in Hove and is often seen working there wearing a name badge reading: “Norm.”
