Zoe Ball made a welcome return to her work on Wednesday. The 48-year-old was forced to take a few days off after she was struck down with the flu. But luckily for the TV personality, Gethin Jones stepped in to host Strictly Come Dancing spin-off It Takes Two, while Nicki Chapman filled in her spot on BBC Radio 2. Following her interview with Sienna Miller, radio host Zoe shared a snap of the pair at the studios and wrote: "This one. Sienna Miller, incredible performance in American Woman but also takes your breath away in the flesh. Clever gorgeous lass."
She added: "So good to be back to work thanks for listening smashers and for the kind messages @bbcradio2 #americanwoman." Fans immediately rushed to share their delight over Zoe's return, with one saying: "So wonderful to have you back!" Another added: "Glad you're feeling much better Zoe xx." A third post read: "Nice to have you back on air, glad you're on the mend." One other follower remarked: "Glad to have you back on the airwaves. Looking forward to watching you on the telly box on #TTT later."
