Time off: Ball is taking a break over half term
BBC

Zoe Ball has confirmed that she will not present Strictly Come Dancing spin-off show It Takes Two this week.

Co-host Rylan Clark-Neal will present all of this week’s episodes while Ball, 48, spends time with her children during the half term break.

Clark-Neal usually hosts the show on Mondays and Tuesdays, with Ball taking the helm on Wednesdays and Thursdays before the pair join forces on Friday for a special hour-long programme.

“Rylan is hosting It Takes Two all this week,” Ball explained on her BBC Radio 2 breakfast show.

“Because it’s half term I am going to spend some time with my kids.”

Ball was recently reunited with her son Woody Cook, 18, after he appeared on the Channel 4 reality show The Circle.

Woody, whose father is DJ Norman Cook (known as Fatboy Slim), finished as a finalist on the series, which sees contestants communicate through a social media platform without meeting each other face to face.

He joined his mum on the breakfast show yesterday morning alongside winners Tim Wilson and Paddy Smyth and confirmed that he won’t try and capitalise on his reality TV success as he is “enjoying being a teenager [on his] gap year.”

Ball is also parent to nine-year-old daughter Nelly and yesterday shared a sweet Instagram picture of her two children reunited after Woody’s stint on The Circle.

The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show is on BBC Radio 2 weekdays from 6.30am to 9.30am. It Takes Two is on BBC Two at 6.30pm Mondays to Thursdays and at 6pm on Fridays.
