Rylan, Gethin & of course my main man Ian Waite. Time now for some new cha cha challenges. "I will continue to support the Strictly family on the Breakfast Show & can’t wait to

also shared her heartbreak over the news, writing: “Oh @zoetheball!! I looked forward to our chats on that couch more then any other part of the week!  “You really are a diamond of a human

being and deserve all of the wonderful things that are coming your way!  “Although you’ll be missed, it’s not ‘goodbye’, it’s more of a ‘see ya around’! Love you!” Former Strictly contestant

and Good Morning Britain host Charlotte Hawkins said: “Oh it won’t be the same without you!!” “Good luck Zoe. You’ll be missed xx,” a fan commented. Another viewer replied: “Awww I loved

you on this I am going to miss you Zoe and those glittery tops.” Last year, Zoe shared her presenting duties with former X Factor and Big Brother contestant Rylan Clark-Neal.  Zoe also hosts

the BBC Radio Two Breakfast Show, meaning Rylan would present at the beginning of the week, while she would take over the latter half of the week. They co-hosted Friday's edition of It

Takes Two together.
