The Radio 1 Breakfast Show host waved her son and his girlfriend Amber goodbye back in January 2020, marking the occasion with a going-away party with Nelly, his dad Norman Cook, as well as his friends. She captioned the Instagram photos: "And he’s off.... there have been tears (from the rest of us not from woo ha) not sure how @dirtyharrydnb will cope without W & Amberforce. Fly safe monkeys... #ravemonkey #travellingwooburry #staysta." Over the past few months, Zoe confessed she was missing her son and counting down the days until his return. At the end of April, the 49-year-old shared a sweet snap of the pair, writing: "3 weeks til the prodigal one returns from NZ fingers crossed - MISS YOU RAVE MONKEY." We're glad the wait is over!
