Zoe Ball has opened up about her next chapter, and it’s clear that her emotions guide her choices.
The 55-year-old presenter revealed that she would love to host Strictly Come Dancing if she gets the chance.
After Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly announced their exit last year, fans quickly began to believe that Zoe was hosting Strictly spin-off It Takes Two until 2021, may be a good fit for this role.
The rumors got even stronger when she left her Saturday slot on Radio 2, free her weekends for the opportunity.
However, Zoe admitted she hasn’t been approached yet, but said: “Of course there’s a part of me that would love to do it. I love that show. It’s so gratifying.”
The star added that it would be a huge challenge in her career to take over and she praised Claudia and Tess for the hard work that live TV requires.
But the host made it very clear that Strictly is not the reason she stepped back from radio.
Losing her mother in 2024 left her feeling devastated and forced her to rethink her life.
She wanted to be present for her children Nelly and Woody, and to balance co-parenting with ex-husband Fatboy Slim.
“The aftermath was really hard… I was just like, ‘What are you doing, kid? Where are we going with everything?'” she said.
For now, Zoe is taking her time while cherishing family moments and room for opportunity.
