Zoe Ball
Zoe Ball has paid a heartfelt tribute after the death of her mother, Julia.
The Radio 2 host has recently been taking time away from her daily show in recent weeks to help care for her mum, after she was diagnosed with cancer.
It was later revealed last week that Julia had entered hospice care.
On Wednesday morning, a “bereft” Zoe announced the news on Instagram that her mum had died.
“Sleep tight dear Mama,” she wrote alongside a photograph of Julia as a young woman.
