Zoe Ball has finally returned to Radio 2 after mysteriously leaving the Breakfast show for the past six weeks.

This morning, the presenter returned to host the Radio 2 Breakfast Show after her long break.

Speaking to fans at 6:30 today, the star said ‘Morning gorgeous people it’s me Zoe the happy wanderer. I’ve wandered back.

‘How was your Brat summer? Was it marvellous? We did that in the 90s it was called something different then.

‘I hope you’ve been enjoying some of the gorgeous sunsets over the last few weeks. It’s a tad soggy our end this morning. Take it easy out on the road.’

The DJ thanked Scott Mills for covering her show while she’s been away and added that he was a ‘dear friend.’

She also joked that she hadn’t been to Turkey to have a ‘new face and teeth,’ but didn’t divulge exactly where she had been for the past month and a bit.

She then told listeners: ‘What have I missed? Text me. I’ve missed ya!’

Zoe was last on the radio on August 8, and replaced for her usual schedule by Scott Mills on August 12.

Scott didn’t reveal why the presenter was away and told listeners at the time: ‘Good Morning. You weren’t expecting me, were you? Welcome to Monday. It’s Scott Mills.

‘If you set your alarm every morning to go off at 6.30 and normally Zoe comes on please do not freak out. You have not overslept. I’m here doing the Breakfast Show do not panic. It’s early. You aren’t late for work. It’s Monday 12th August.’
