Widowed Zoe ‘getting stronger’
ZOE Ball is “getting stronger” after her partner Billy Yates’s suicide last year – but she still struggles with moments of grief.
Cameraman Billy was found dead at his home in May at the age of 40.
Last week, TV presenter Zo, 41, cycled more than 350 miles over five days, from Blackpool to Brighton, raising more than £500,000 for Sport Relief in his name.
She told the Radio Times: “I’m getting stronger. I’m a tough old cookie. My family have been through a lot.
“There are moments when you least expect it when grief catches you.
“But I’ve found people who have been through this and are doing better. They’ve found some hope.
“That’s the biggest thing for me, that there is hope.
“Otherwise what are we doing this for?”
