The broadcaster announced on her Instagram page on Wednesday (6th March) that her mother Julia has been diagnosed with cancer. The news is devastating for the family.

These days are very difficult, as many of you may have experienced. My mother is showing immense courage.

When Ball was a toddler, his mother Julia and television presenter Johnny Ball were married. However, the couple separated and got divorced, leaving the BBC Radio 2 host without a father figure at a young age.

"My sibling Jamie and I are utterly amazed and impressed by the exceptional medical professionals, caregivers, and auxiliary staff who are taking care of our mother. We are grateful for their efforts," she expressed.

We are thankful to our loved ones, both immediate and extended, as well as our friends from both our personal and professional lives, for the aid they have given us during this period.

My heartfelt thoughts go out to those who are currently fighting cancer, in the midst of medical investigation, and also to those who are taking care of their loved ones who are unwell. May you receive all the love and support you need during this time.

Last Wednesday, Zoe shared the unfortunate news that her mother was diagnosed with cancer.

The blog portion can be rephrased as follows in plain English: A picture posted on Zoe Ball's Instagram captured a happy moment that looks like it was taken during a sunny day in the great outdoors. The image, which was originally shared via Getty Images, shows her with a big smile on her face.

"I make an effort to have breakfast at work as frequently as possible. However, there are times when I need to be with my mother at home. I am grateful to Gaby for taking over in those situations."

In a previous interview on Desert Island Discs, Zoe talked about her connection with her mother. She described being raised mostly by her dad since her mother departed when Zoe was just two years old.

"It was difficult not being able to see my mother for all those years, as it made me question many things when I was a child," she expressed.

It seems like the duo have developed a strong bond, with Julia lending a hand with taking care of the kids whenever the host is away on vacation.

"My mother is very kind and takes charge when needed. We'll be going on a vacation as a family later this year," she mentioned during the program.

Paddy McGuiness, Julia Bradbury, and Natalie Cassidy expressed their compassion in response to her social media update, conveying that they were "sending affection" to her family.

One of Adele Roberts' colleagues from BBC radio expressed their condolences by saying, "I am keeping your fantastic mother in my thoughts and sending an abundance of affection to all of you."
