Zoe Ball has appeared in new ITV show Mamma Mia! revealing that she has no intention of looking for love at all. I have a dream.
The 52-year-old BBC Radio 2 breakfast show presenter, who split from boyfriend Michael Reed earlier this year, will host the upcoming series.
But despite her split from Michael, Zoe still has no plans to find love as she has vowed not to follow in Denise Van Outen’s footsteps, who met her ex-husband Lee Mead while hosting a similar show.
Speaking to The Sun, Zoe said: “No!” I won’t get a Lee Mead! Definitely not.
“But I tell them all, the Sophies and Skys, do what I wanted to do as a child.”

“But I can’t act, I can’t sing and so I can live my life vicariously through her, which is wonderful.” Having this talent is a bit magical and when you have it you are very lucky. “It’s so wonderful to see them fly with it.”
Denise met Lee when she was a judge on the talent show “Any Dream Will Do” in 2007, which he won, married in 2009, but separated in 2013.
In May, Zoe split from Michael, 53, and friends reportedly said she was “better off without him.”
The radio presenter had been dating the former construction worker for five and a half years, but sources told The Sun that the relationship began to fall apart after Michael became “a bit demanding”.
The publication reported that Michael has since been asked by the TV star to move out of her £1.5million sprawling Sussex home.
The source said: “Zoe is devastated but she is better off without Michael.”
“This is a relief to many of her friends who think she did the right thing,” they added.
They went on to say that the couple started arguing about “really silly things,” such as Zoe spending time on the phone and chatting with friends.

And although Michael was a “real gentleman” at the start of their relationship, he has reportedly become “a bit demanding” since then.
Zoe was previously married to DJ Norman “Fatboy Slim” Cook (60) from 1999 to 2016 and has two children together, a son Woody (23) and a daughter Nelly (14).
