Radio 2's Zoe Ball leaves country home and buys new house next to ex

Zoe Ball has sold her country home four years after buying it for £2million, it has emerged.

The presenter, who has been away from her Radio 2 breakfast show since August 8, has moved house in recent weeks. She reportedly sold her countryside home in the village of Newick, Sussex, which she bought in August 2020.

It is believed she moved to a townhouse between Brighton and Hove, near her ex-husband DJ Norman Cook - the father of her two children. Some sources close to the much-loved presenters have suggested that the change represents a "new start" for the radio host, who split from her partner Michael Reed last year after more than five years together.
