For the last several weeks Zoe has been absent from her presenting role on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show.

The 53-year-old last hosted The Zoe Ball Breakfast show on Radio 2 back on August 8, more than a month ago, but she will be returning.

Gaby Roslin and Scott Mills have both filled in for Ball in her absence.

In a post earlier today she said: "Back on breakfast @bbcradio2 tomorrow morning at 6:30 thanks to @scott_mills  and @DJSpoony for putting in the mega shifts @TinaDaheley @richie_anderson @mikewills_sport".

Fans have been becoming increasingly concerned with Zoe's long absence from the BBC show - and it seems she will still be off for at least another week.

While a reason has not been given for Zoe's absence, the BBC presenter has faced quite a heartbreaking year, with the loss of her mum and needing emergency dental treatment.

Back in April, Zoe took time off work as she emotionally announced the death of her mum, Julia Peckham. The late mother died from advanced pancreatic cancer aged 75.

"I'm glad to see her smiling"
