Zoe Ball has announced her next career move after leaving BBC Radio 2: the veteran broadcaster will join rival station Greatest Hits Radio to host a weekday afternoon show starting September 7.
Trailer Reveals New Role
The 55-year-old radio star's arrival was unveiled in a tongue-in-cheek trailer inspired by the BBC series The Traitors. The clip, captioned "One more from the old place! Please welcome our newest recruit," shows Ball entering a studio carrying a lantern before lowering her hood and addressing former Radio 2 colleagues Ken Bruce and Simon Mayo, saying: "I couldn't let you two have all the fun, could I?"
Career Shift After BBC Exit
Ball's move to Greatest Hits Radio comes after her departure from BBC Radio 2, where she had been a prominent presenter. Her new afternoon slot will see her compete directly with her former network. The announcement has generated significant buzz in the radio industry, with Greatest Hits Radio positioning Ball as a key addition to its lineup alongside Bruce and Mayo.
