Zoe Ball Addresses Painful Jaw Condition as She Prepares to Leave BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show

The presenter revealed her struggles with temporomandibular joint disorder, which causes severe headaches, as she plans to step down after six years on the show.

Zoe Ball, 54, shared on Instagram that she suffers from temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), leading to daily headaches from jaw tension and clenching.
The condition, affecting the joint connecting the jaw to the skull, can cause pain in the jaw, neck, and shoulders, as well as headaches and restricted jaw movement.
Ball announced earlier this month that she is stepping down from BBC Radio 2's Breakfast Show to focus on family, with her final show scheduled for December 20, 2024.
Scott Mills, a longtime colleague and friend, will take over the breakfast show in January 2025, following Ball’s six-year tenure as host.
Ball expressed gratitude for her treatment at a London clinic, sharing before-and-after photos of her face and encouraging others with similar conditions to seek care.
