Zoe Ball has announced she is stepping down as presenter of Radio 2’s Breakfast Show in December. <\/p>\n

Ball said: \u201cAfter six incredible years on the Radio 2 Breakfast Show, it\u2019s time for me to step away from the very early mornings and focus on family.”<\/p>\n

She will remain on the station, and said more news on what that would involve would be announced in the new year.<\/p>\n

Ball later announced that Scott Mills will be her replacement, moving from his afternoon show slot on the station.<\/p>\n

Ball’s last show will be on Friday 20 December, “just in time for Christmas with plenty of fun and shenanigans,” she told listeners on her Tuesday show.<\/p>\n

Telling her listeners about her decision, she said: “I’ve decided it’s time to step away from the early alarm call and start a new chapter. <\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve shared a hell of a lot, the good times, the tough times, there\u2019s been a lot of laughter. And I am going to miss you cats.”<\/p>\n

She added she would also miss her colleagues, saying they were “like family to me”.<\/p>\n

The early morning presenter added: “But I won\u2019t miss the 4am alarm call, if I’m completely honest.<\/p>\n

“You know I love you all to bits.”<\/p>\n

Mills said: \u201cZoe and I have been such good friends now for over 25 years and have spent much of that time as part of the same radio family here at Radio 2 and also on Radio 1. <\/p>\n

“She’s done an incredible job on this show over the past six years, and I am beyond excited to be handed the baton.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
