I'll be loving you always." A friend said at the time that Zoe was totally overwhelmed with grief. "She is completely and utterly devastated," the insider said.

Earlier this month, Zoe's concerned father Johnny Ball revealed how the family were helping the star cope following Billy's death. "If she was next door we could pop round and say, 'Are you ok?' But we're 60 miles away," he told the Mirror. "So we text asking, 'Are you ok? Keep your pecker up. Come on, be strong.' She's started work again and the attention that needs take her mind from dark thoughts."
