Zoe Ball dealt huge blow as BBC Radio 2 colleague says goodbye in emotional post

Zoe Ball's colleague shared an emotional post as he bid farewell to BBC Radio 2.

Jordan Hemingway has worked as a producer on Zoe's Breakfast Show for the past three years, but revealed he is set to leave in a few months.

Announcing the news on X, Jordan wrote: "After an amazing 3 years producing @zoetheball, I’m leaving @bbcradio2 at the end of the summer. I’ve had the best time working on the biggest breakfast show in the UK!"

He added: "I’ll miss everyone at Radio 2… it’s the station I always dreamed of working at." Jordan was flooded with support as his followers wished him luck on his next venture.

One commented: "Good luck - not that you need it because you're amazing at what you do! And you're a man of mystery ... hope to find out what you're up to soon!"

Another wrote: "Good luck, Jordan. The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show is fantastic. You have spent three years living the dream of so many, myself included. All the best."

A third added: "Good Luck in whatever you got planned next in your career." Someone else said: "You have been amazing Jordan. Well done and good luck for the future."

It comes after Zoe, 53, received emergency care after she lost a tooth. Taking to Instagram last month, the radio DJ revealed she rushed to a dental professional to have her smile fixed following an accident.

Posting a picture of a character with a tooth missing, Zoe added the caption: "About last night... Me... Oops." In a second snap, Zoe shared another picture of Wayne's World's star Garth Algar (played by Dana Carvey) with a full smile.

"Me... now," the broadcaster wrote alongside the image. "Thanks to Maddy at Dentalessence Burgess Hill for the emergency rescue."

Zoe recently announced she was taking a break from her BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show as she headed on annual leave. The mum-of-one shared the news with her listeners on Monday (July 1), but insisted she would be back on Friday (July 5).

Gaby Roslin, 59, stood in for Zoe for a few days while she took time off work to recuperate from Glastonbury Festival.
