Life is Brighton breezy

ROMANTIC sparks fly on the dodgems as Zoe Ball and her new man collide.

The Strictly It Takes Two host, 47, and businessman Michael Reed pulled up to each others bumpers at the funfair.

Michael, who’d shaved ahead of the trip to Brighton Pier, flung a protective arm around Zoe’s daughter Nelly, aged eight.

And after such a rollercoaster year, Zoe looked delighted to be in the driving seat.

Their relationship is blooming eight months after Zoe’s cameraman boyfriend Billy Yates, 40, was found dead at his South London home from a suspected suicide.

Her ex-husband Fatboy Slim DJ Norman, 54, and her son Woody, 16, have met Michael, who has two kids with his ex.

A pal of the Radio 2 host said: “They all get on well and Zoe’s in a very happy place. They’re completely smitten. It’s very sweet to see. Zoe’s friends are happy for her.

“She, more than anyone, deserves to find happiness.” Zoe will be hoping the only bumps in her life are on fun rides.
