DJ Zoe Ball has said she is “absolutely gutted” as she pulled out of covering the Coronation Concert for BBC Radio 2 at the last minute due to illness.
The 52-year-old was due to present a show from the grounds of Windsor Castle on Sunday evening ahead of the star-studded event which will feature performances by Take That, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie.
On Sunday morning, Ball tweeted: “Absolutely gutted… the sickness bug has got me. Was meant to be heading to Windsor Castle for the #coronationconcert on @BBCRadio2 later. “@radioleary and @scott_mills have got you covered.
I’m heading back to bed.” READ MORE: Sunday and Monday weather forecast as Coronation parties held across Greater Manchester Scott Mills will take over from Ball to chat to the crowd ahead of the concert, while Dermot O’Leary will be backstage speaking to the stars before they perform.
