Zoe, who was the first female host for BBC Radio 1 and Radio 2, has been open in the past about her health battles.

The menopause

While previously speaking with Billy Joel on her show, the presenter revealed that she was struggling to see, which she believed was down to the menopause.

Zoe made her admission when the 74-year-old musician joked that he could no longer see what he looked like in the mirror due to his age. Off the back of his comment, the host laughed and added: “It’s a great idea, just take the mirrors down.

“My eyesight has gone with menopause, I can’t see myself, it’s great.” The mother-of-two has also shared how she had been suffering from other symptoms such as brain fog, hot sweats and anxiety.

On how she had been dealing with the process away from her job, she told the Daily Mail: “The minute I step into my garden I properly take a deep breath and really relax. I find the garden so calming.

“Perfect for my ever busy brain, and especially good for my menopause anxiety.

“I love learning about the plants in my garden, when they bloom, and what works where, tending to them and making mistakes, but learning is the most comforting and joyous thing.

Rehab

Zoe tends to live a much more quieter life nowadays and is barely pictured on red carpets, like in her hey day. After shooting to fame in the 90s, she swiftly became a part of the showbiz culture and enjoyed a party lifestyle.

The presenter, who was married to DJ Fatboy Slim, previously admitted that her drinking stemmed from feeling insecure when she was in big groups.

On BBC’s Desert Island Discs, she explained: “It’s weird because you do this job and you are talking and are gregarious and all these things but I am actually quite shy.

“You could be in a room full of musicians or you could be in a room full of people who were some of your heroes and you could feel like you could hold your own if you had some sort of prop or something that made you feel a bit more at ease.

“But you could walk into the room if you’d had a drink.”

After relying on drink a little too much, Zoe sought help in rehab and after a few attempts of beating the booze, she eventually kicked the habit for good.

Mental health

As well as her own anxiety, Zoe knows all too well about mental health following her ex-partner’s death by suicide.

The presenter began dating Billy Yates, 40, following the breakdown of her marriage to Fatboy Slim. In a post after his death in 2018, Zoe told fans she had marked two years of sobriety despite her tough time.

She wrote: “Two years no booze – through two of the toughest years of my life. I’m not sure I’d have survived intact had it not been for my sobriety.”

In the same chat with the BBC, she added of her relationship with the camera man: “Billy was my partner, we’d been friends for years and we got together.

“He suffered with depression for a huge chunk of his life. And it’s so hard to sit and watch someone you love and care for struggle with mental health.

“Losing him was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with in my life.

Zoe faced more heartache earlier this year following the loss of her mum Julia, who had been suffering from cancer.
