Zoe Ball reveals the ghost of dead cat Monkey is ‘haunting her house’ and son Woody ‘can hear meowing’
ZOE Ball has claimed that her dead cat Monkey is haunting her home after her son Woody heard it miaowing.
Speaking on her Radio 2 Breakfast Show yesterday, Zoe spoke about the tragic passing of their two-year-old pet cat a few weeks ago.
“We lost our cat a couple of weeks ago and it is still getting us,” she shared.
“Woody is obsessed his ghost is in the house as he can hear him miaowing. But I think it’s all in his head.”
Monkey was hit by a car and killed in a tragic accident at the age of two on December 11.
The 50-year-old star paid touching tribute to the ginger feline on her Instagram page, with Zoe writing: “Our beautiful cat Monkey has gone to monkey heaven. He was a great adventurer, so chatty, full of love & always up for a fireside cuddle.
“We are heartbroken. Thank you to the kind people who found him & called us. Rest well you magic ginger bundle. ✨✨✨”.
Zoe’s son Woody, who shot to fame on Channel 4 series The Circle, revealed more details of Monkey’s untimely death on his own social media page.
Sharing a selection of photos of the cat, and some of their other family pet Toasty, Woody wrote: “Sad News. Monkey my lovely partner in crime was hit by a car last night.
“He is no longer with us – a tragic accident took him too soon at not even 3 years old. I hope he’s climbing trees somewhere else now.”
Woody, 19, is Zoe’s son with ex husband Norman Cook – otherwise known as Fatboy Slim.
The pair, who split in 2016, are also mum and dad to 10-year-old daughter Nelly.
