This news follows shortly after Zoe's son Woody Cook revealed he has been "stepping up" and spending additional time with his mum while she was off work, reports the Mirror.

Her son Woody Cook previously told The Mirror he had had to "step up". He said: "My mum and I like to keep our private lives to ourselves but I will say I have stepped up and spent a lot more time with her recently as she has always been there when I've had tough times. I'm glad to see her smiling."

Ball is believed to have sold her countryside home in Newick, Sussex, after buying it for more than £2m in 2020.
