Zoe Ball has spoken candidly about a bittersweet change in her home life. The BBC Radio 2 presenter and Norman Cook, widely recognised as DJ Fatboy Slim, are parents to two children: Woody Cook, 25, and Nelly, 16.

Zoe, who recently revealed she had missed out on becoming the new Strictly Come Dancing host, drew a comparison between Jo Whiley's bustling household and her own, which has grown considerably quieter of late.

Speaking on their Dig It podcast, she said: "Mine's so quiet, it's like ugh! It's less and less because Nel is based more at her dad's now because I think she's got to that point of, 'Ah can I just be in one place?'.

"All of her CSI revision notes are on the wall at her dads and it's just [nice] not having to move from house to house, so she's just spending more time there now."

Zoe added that the transition has been made somewhat easier by the fact that Norman lives close by.

"It's great because it's only around the corner and I can nip round at any time, which is great, and she can come here if she gets upset about anything like, 'Mum, I need you' but it's less and less," the 55-year-old added.

Last year, Woody announced he had relocated to Bristol, while both his parents remain in their hometown of Brighton.

The reality star-turned-DJ and his family were devastated in 2024 following the deaths of both Zoe and Norman's mothers.

Speaking to the Daily Express in March 2025, he said: "Last year a lot of stuff happened as a family. The family is a little bit smaller than it was. So it's given us time to spend more time together and reevaluate. Life can be very busy. I live in Bristol.

"My family live in Brighton. My mum was always working in London. There wasn't always time. And now - more than ever - it's about making that time. Because you never know how long a life is. Sometimes I realise that my parents need me just as much as I need them to support me. I didn't really realise that before. We've got each other."

That same year, Norman experienced a profoundly emotional moment while reflecting on a significant family achievement.

Having witnessed his son pursue a career in music, Norman admitted he was moved to tears when Woody performed at Ibiza's legendary Café Mambo for the first time.

Speaking on Heart Radio, he said: "Woody, my son, grew up in that booth. Like, we used to take him down when he was like three. Because we couldn't get a babysitter. And so, he would play Lego.

"He would sit in the corner of the DJ booth and play Lego. And then when he got to be six or seven, he could see out the top of the DJ booth. And then one day he went, 'Dad, I can see why you like your job'.

"He said, 'It's really exciting. Like the music's loud and everyone's shouting at you', he said. And so he kind of grew up. And then there was... There came a moment where my son played in Mambo, and I'm not ashamed to say I cried when my son finally played."
