Zoe Ball Confirms Partner's Death

Zoe Ball has confirmed that her boyfriend Billy Yates has died.

The 46-year-old started dating Yates, a television cameraman, for a number of months following her separation from husband Norman Cook (DJ Fatboy Slim) in September 2016.


Yates, 40, was found dead at his home in London on Thursday evening. The death is not being treated as suspicious.

Ms Ball later took to Instagram to share a photograph of a flower which she captioned: "My sweet love X."

A spokesperson for the radio star said: "Zoe is devastated and requests that during this difficult time the media respect her privacy as well as the privacy of her friends and family."
