Zoe had just been discussing the charity cycle she did for her former partner Billy, who took his own life last year, when a holiday snap of her new man popped up on screen.
Zoe embarked on a 350 mile bike ride from Blackpool to Brighton for Sport Relief earlier this year.
The stunning feat raised more than £1 million, with Zoe understandably breaking down in tears when she was told the amount.
Zoe got choked up as she said: "I think that's one of the things I said, that part of it is that I wanted Billy's memory to be more about who he was as an amazing man and not about how he died.

"I wish I could reply to them all."
