Zoe Ball’s birthday
Zoe Ball joined Scott on her birthday.
Scott first asked about her legs, recalling the time she had spent supporting him during the Great Scott TreadMills Challenge.
Zoe was introduced as Richie Anderson’s “radio wife” and the queen of the Radio 2 Breakfast Show.
She faced the same checks as any other Birthday Game contestant before receiving three songs that had been number one on 23 November in different years.
Scott did not allow her status at the station to change the rules: she could reject the first two choices but would be stuck with the third.
TreadMills memories
Zoe reflected on watching the challenge after leaving the Radio Theatre and using the iPlayer donation link.
Scott thanked her for returning and for helping him through the opening hours.
The conversation captured the friendship between two presenters whose careers had repeatedly crossed since their Radio 1 years.
Listener messages
Listeners sent birthday wishes and shared memories of hearing Zoe and Scott on air across several decades.
