Ball and her son Woody featured on Celebrity Gogglebox on the previous series when it aired last year. The news comes only a week after the announcement she'd be replaced on Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two by pro dancer Janette Manrara.

When Zoe announced her departure from It Takes Two earlier this year, she said: "Dance lovers, after 10 joyous years I am waltzing away from It Takes Two. As a massive @bbcstrictly fan I have loved spending my Autumn teatimes with the celebrity dancers, the gorgeous & awesome pro dancers, the judges, my girl Vicky Gill, 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 watch the Class Of 2021 from my sofa. Huge love & grateful thanks to Tess & Claude & the whole Strictly clan, the ITT fans, my Glam Squad, Eve Winstanley, Alex McLeod, the BBC2 gang, & of course the best telly crew ever.
