 Zoe
Ball was born on 23 November, 1970 and was educated
at Holy Cross Convent School in Chalfont St Peter.
After a variety of vacation jobs Zoe began her
television career as a runner at Granada Television;
she was quickly promoted to a researcher on BSkyB
on the children’s programme ‘Cool Cube’. She then
joined Action Time and spent two years as a researcher
working on a variety of quiz shows for television.
This led to a job as a researcher/assistant producer
on Channel 4’s Big Breakfast.
After auditioning for Children’s BBC, Zoe
became the presenter of the ‘birthday slot’ which
led to her being a regular presenter of CBBC’s
music magazine programme ‘The Ozone’ (voted Best
Music Show by Smash Hits), Short Change, a series
of consumer programmes for Children’s BBC, a regular
co-presenter of the ‘Broom Cupboard’ and host
of ‘Playdays’ on weekday mornings. Zoe was also
chosen to co-host the one off BBC special ‘An
Afternoon on the Moon’ which celebrated the 25th
Anniversary of man walking on the moon.
From Spring to Autumn ‘95 Zoe presented the BBC’s
Saturday morning Summer show ‘Fully Booked’ and
has recently finished the award winning BBC Art
programme ‘Smart’ and her first Pantomime, starring
as Cinderella in the record breaking box office
success at The Derngate Theatre in Northampton.
It was while presenting ‘Fully Booked’ that Zoe
caught the eye of the Planet 24 producers and
as a result she has taken over from Gaby Roslin
as a main presenter on The Big Breakfast. This
move will make Zoe the most exciting new female
television presenter on British TV.
Zoe now works on Children's BBC as one of the
presenters of 'Live and Kicking' and does a damn
good job of getting millions of grown men out
of bed on a Saturday morning!
