Veteran presenter Johnny Ball has accused the BBC of ageism as he publicly claimed that the broadcaster let his daughter Zoe leave Radio 2 because she was "over 50".
Zoe's long career at BBC radio, in which she was the first female presenter to host the Radio 1 and Radio 2 breakfast shows, came to an end in December 2025, with the presenter, 55, moving to Greatest Hits Radio in September.
