Radio star Zoe Ball was left in tears after her car was broken into during a trip to London while appearing on The One Show. Upon returning to her vehicle, Zoe discovered the front window smashed and her bag, left on the front seat, gone. Sharing her emotional experience on her Dig It podcast, Zoe admitted to having a good cry after the incident, reassuring fans with humour that the bag only contained her diary, sparing any real valuables from being taken.
In her usual upbeat spirit, Zoe tackled the situation head-on by improvising her journey back to Brighton. She shared how she used a festival poncho to cover the broken window, laughing at how it turned her trip into a slow 30 mph drive!
This incident follows Zoe’s recent conversation about dealing with social anxiety. She previously used her BBC Radio 2 breakfast show as a perfect excuse to dodge events that felt overwhelming. But since stepping down, she joked about struggling to navigate social scenarios without the trusty excuse of needing an early night.
Zoe’s candidness about small talk, admitting it makes her skin crawl, highlights how even celebrities can feel awkward in social settings. She finds solace in keeping busy, whether it’s sorting out the ice or entertaining little ones at gatherings to avoid adult conversations.
Stay strong, Zoe! It’s these real-life moments and openness that keep us all rooting for you! 💪💕
