Overview

  • Speaking with co-host Jo Whiley, Ball said Coogan jumped into a swimming pool during the festivities and broke his nose.
  • Ball also recounted that a guest radio producer named Will stumbled into a body of water and had to be pulled out, later turning up covered in pond weed.
  • The anecdotes refer to the couple’s August 1999 wedding, which Ball and Norman Cook later followed with an amicable split in 2016 and ongoing co‑parenting of their children, Woody and Nelly.
  • Ball noted she has been sober for roughly a decade, and Coogan has said he stopped drinking in 2022.
  • The reminiscences were aired on Ball’s Dig It podcast and have been picked up in new coverage this week.
