Zoe Ball has been embracing a more relaxed lifestyle since she bid farewell to her BBC Radio 2 show last December.The TV and radio presenter, who is 54, has reportedly taken on a new role working alongside her former husband, Norman Cook – better known as Fatboy Slim – at his coffee shop in Hove.

Despite their split in 2016, Zoe and Norman have remained close friends, with Norman, 61, owning The Big Beach Cafe since 2013.

A source close to the pair has revealed that Norman has been an incredible support for Zoe, especially over the difficult past year following the loss of her mother to cancer in April. "Zoe relies on Norman so much, they've got one of the best relationships after marriage," the insider shared. "He is such a support to her.

Zoe has had so many sad times and is still grieving, she really has been through the mill." Zoe's mother, Julia, sadly passed away last spring, just 12 weeks after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
