The radio presenter, 53, who took a break to care for her ill mother, was replaced as host by Gaby Roslin who stood in at the last minute.

Zoe thanked Gaby for holding the fort and shared an update on her mum with BBC Radio 2 listeners as she addressed her absence.

Zoe dedicated a Bon Jovi song to 'amazing' paramedics' Bill and Simon who helped Julia to a hospice this week.

She said: 'They were so gentle with her, so kind, very funny and absolutely lovely.
