Broadcaster Zoe Ball was back on air today as she began her first show on Greatest Hits Radio.

Zoe opened by welcoming listeners to the first ever Zoe Ball in the Afternoon and sharing: ‘I can tell you excitement levels currently peaking. Thanks to Ken, I am so thrilled to be his radio neighbour once again. Mondays to Fridays from 1 till 4 I will be here before handing you over each day to the mighty Simon Mayo. Adore him.’

But of course, the moment that everyone was waiting for was an answer to, in Zoe’s words, ‘the big question.’ Greatest Hits Radio listeners had been sharing their thoughts on what Zoe’s first song should be all weekend; with Zoe giving some of them a shout out on the show including Dave Fox who guessed Led Zeppelin’s Rock’n’Roll, Anne Miles who suggested Feeling Good from Nina Simone and one cheeky listener – Dennis in Shoreham – who went for Elton John’s The B**** is Back!

And in the end Zoe revealed: ‘First song on Greatest Hits Radio. It’s got to be big. Big production, big sound, big feels. Not sure many of you guessed this one. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you. The Kiki Dee Band… ‘I’ve Got the Music in Me’ – a fittingly upbeat start to her new chapter on the station.’

Listen to Zoe Ball on Greatest Hits Radio, Monday – Friday, 1 – 4pm
