BBC Radio 2 listeners are confused as Zoe Ball ‘vanished off air’ midway through the show this morning.
Early risers tuning in to the Zoe Ball Breakfast Show from 6.30 am were shocked to discover that the DJ appeared to disappear during her show on Monday 4th April.
Radio listeners took to Twitter to share their confusion about the seemingly unexpected departure of the DJ, with one listener reporting that Richie Anderson stepped in on the breakfast show to ‘hold the fort’.

Elsewhere, other listeners reported that Ken Bruce took over her slot on the radio show.
"How to confuse this idiot,.wake him up early & find Ken Bruce has turned into Zoe Ball!! The laws of the universe have been disrupted [sic]," another Twitter user wrote.
