Zoe Ball spotted holding hands with Fatboy Slim lookalike at Glastonbury Festival
Zoe Ball was spotted at Glastonbury Festival with a mysterious man who resembled her ex-husband, Norman Cook, as the pair enjoyed the live music.
Radio personality Zoe ball has been spotted at Glastonbury Festival with a mystery man, sparking speculation among fans, who spotted the pair, that he may be her new partner.
The pair appeared to be enjoying the weekend festivities, with onlookers claiming they saw the two walking hand in hand. Some even remarked that the man bears a resemblance to Zoe's ex-husband Norman Cook, better known as Fatboy Slim.
The 54-year-old presenter was seen dressed in black and wearing sunglasses as she explored Worthy Farm. She and her partner were also seen making the most of the VIP area, taking in some of the famous performances lined up for the weekend, the Mirror reports.
Zoe shares two children with her ex-husband, Norman - a son Woody, 24, and daughter Nelly, 14. The former couple first met in Ibiza in 1997 and married two years later in 1999.
Although the pair separated in 2016 and officially divorced in 2020, though they've remained good friends. It was reported that Zoe sold her £2 million countryside home in Sussex to move closer to her ex-husband in Brighton and Hove.
Since the split, Zoe has faced further heartbreak. She was in a relationship with cameraman Billy Yates, who tragically died by suicide in 2017. She later entered a long-term relationship with former construction worker, Michael Reed, which reportedly ended in 2023.
Zoe has yet to confirm any new relationship.
This comes after Zoe and Jo Whiley announced an exciting new venture, the launch of a joint podcast. The beloved Radio 2 presenters are teaming up for the new project which has been described as a "warm and welcoming conversation with old mates".
The podcast promises to feature "heartfelt and unfiltered conversations" as the duo open up about everything from raising a family and careers to ageing and living healthy. Episodes will be released twice a week, with exclusive bonus content for those who subscribe. .
Zoe expressed her enthusiasm for the project, saying: "I'm so super-excited to dive into the world of podcasting with my girl Jo, I've got so much love and respect for her – she's been a true lifeline. Our friendship goes back 30 years, to our days on The Word and The Big Breakfast."
"We've grown up together, personally and professionally, along with our listeners. The show is what happens when two mates (who are constantly mistaken for each other) hit record on their regular catch-ups and talk life, unfiltered and full volume. We're chatting about our week, wild kids, ageing, what's for dinner, digging (literally), music obsessions, grief and everything in between."
Zoe took a step back from her weekday breakfast show last year, much to the disappointment of her fans. She was replaced by Scott Mills but has since returned to radio with a new weekend afternoon show.

The Glastonbury wellie trend loved by festival's best-dressed celebs
The final day of Glastonbury Festival is here, but the fashion statements are far from over. Yesterday, Worthy Farm was graced by numerous celebrities, with our best-dressed favourites all sporting one common accessory – ankle-length wellies. These Chelsea boot-inspired wellies were seen on everyone from Billie Piper and Lily James to Daisy Edgar-Jones at this year's Glastonbury, solidifying their status as a festival must-have. The popular choice appeared to be Barbour's Black Wilton Chelsea Wellington Boots, currently available for £55 at Next, or £54 on Amazon while stocks last. According to the Mirror, these ankle-length wellies strike the perfect balance between style and practicality. Unlike full-length wellies, which can cause overheating in high temperatures, an ankle-length pair offers comfort and coolness while still safeguarding your feet from mud. Plus, they're much easier to slip on and off when it's time to retire to your tent at the end of the day. The Chelsea Wellington Boots also effortlessly complement any outfit, functioning just like a regular pair of ankle boots. They can be easily paired with anything from midi skirts and mini dresses to a simple pair of shorts or jeans. Billie Piper opted to pair hers with an oversized green waterproof jacket and black micro shorts underneath, flaunting her bronzed legs while staying warm and dry. In contrast, Lily James chose sporty white drawstring shorts, a beige crop top and a quilted bomber jacket to complement her ankle-length wellies. Daisy Edgar-Jones traded the Barbour's version for a pair of Hunter Original Rubber Chelsea Boots, currently discounted from £145 to £58. One day, she channelled 00s Alexa Chung, pairing them with simple wide-leg denim shorts and a vintage-style satin camisole top. On another occasion, she chose a flowing white midi dress and a raffia shoulder bag, demonstrating the versatility of the wellies. The Barbour Chelsea Wellington Boots are available in four different colours including black, navy and olive green, while Hunter's Original Rubber Chelsea Boots come in either black or ivory. If you're looking to add a vibrant pop of colour with your wellies (it is festival season, after all), then the Bobbi Ankle Wellies from Merry People (£89.95) are perfect. They're available in a range of bright colours including yellow, bright pink, rust and burgundy, with a total of 16 different colours to choose from. While ankle-length wellies are clearly a popular choice for summer festivals, they're also quite handy for daily use. They can be worn for dog walks, family days out in the countryside, or simply to keep your feet dry during your winter commute. We'll certainly be adding a pair to our shoe collection.

UK police reviewing rapper's anti-Israel comments at Glastonbury Festival
British police said they were examining videos of a band that led chants of 'death to the IDF' or Israel Defense Forces at Saturday's Glastonbury Festival. Rapper Bobby Vylan, of rap punk duo Bob Vylan, led crowds attending the festival in chants of 'free, free Palestine' and 'death, death to the IDF." Avon and Somerset Police said video evidence would be assessed by officers 'to determine whether any offenses may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation." The Israeli Embassy to the U.K. said on social media that it was 'deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival." Health Secretary Wes Streeting on Sunday condemned the band's actions as 'appalling." He told Sky News that the BBC and festival organizers had to answer questions about how the comments were broadcast live to millions. The government said Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken to the BBC director general about Bob Vylan's performance. The BBC said it issued a warning on screen about 'very strong and discriminatory language' during the live stream. Saturday's festival lineup also included Irish-language rap group Kneecap, which gave an impassioned performance for tens of thousands of fans despite criticism by British politicians and a terror charge for one of the trio. Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, has been charged under the Terrorism Act with supporting a proscribed organization for allegedly waving a Hezbollah flag at a concert in London in November. The rapper, who was charged under the anglicized version of his name, Liam O'Hanna, is on unconditional bail before a further court hearing in August. The group has faced criticism for lyrics laden with expletives and drug references, and for political statements, especially since videos emerged allegedly showing the band shouting 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah' and calling on people to kill lawmakers. On Saturday band members led the audience in chants of 'Free Palestine' and 'Free Mo Chara.' They also aimed an expletive-laden chant at U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who has said he didn't think it was 'appropriate' for Kneecap to play Glastonbury. About 200,000 ticket holders have turned up in southwest England for Britain's most prestigious summer music festival, which features almost 4,000 performers on 120 stages.
