Zoe Ball celebrates two years of sobriety after 'toughest years of her life'

Zoe Ball has celebrated her two-year anniversary of sobriety after experiencing what she describes are the ‘toughest years of her life’.

The radio and television presenter, 47, took to Instagram to share the positive news with her 203,000 followers.

She posted the following picture, a screengrab from her sobriety app, of a giant ‘2 years’ on a blue background, with the following caption:

‘Special moment. 2 years no booze – through two of the toughest years of my life, I’m not sure I’d have survived intact had it had not been for my sobriety & #recovery.

‘Sending out some big love & #gratitude to everyone at #Lifeworks #Woking & my dear friends in the fellowship, & some extra big love to my family & special magic loved ones who encouraged me to get help & have supported me through everything.

‘Thoughts and strength and love for any folk out there starting the path to recovery #strength #love #onedayatatime #serenityprayer #aameetings #rehab #addictions #recovery #calm #care #love #gratitude’.

The star has had a tough couple of years, after her marriage to Fat Boy Slim aka Norman Cook ended in September of 2016, after spending 17 years together.

Just a few short months later, in May of 2017, her boyfriend, cameraman Billy Yates, killed himself. It was revealed that Ball tried to help Yates after he’d tried to end his life on previous occasions.

Since then, the former Radio 1 Breakfast Show host took part in Comic Relief’s Hardest Ride Home cycle challenge from Blackpool to Brighton to raise money and awareness for mental health.
