"I might skip breakfast this morning."
"Worst cereal name ever."

Speaking on air earlier today, the star said: "This is bonkers, can I just say. I am a crazy mix of elation, wanting to burst into tears and thinking of running away.
"But I am mainly thrilled, I couldn't sleep all night."
In a statement, Zoe added: "I'm absolutely thrilled to be following in the giant footsteps of Chris Evans as the host of the Radio 2 Breakfast Show.

"To be the first woman to present this very special show is both an honour and privilege.
"Believe me, I'm not underestimating the enormity of the task ahead, to follow not one but two of my broadcasting idols, into such a well-loved show is somewhat daunting.
"But I hope, in the same way that Chris made this show his own after taking over from the wonderful Sir Terry Wogan, that with a top team alongside me, I can bring the fabulous Radio 2 audience a show they want to wake up to."

Zoe first joined BBC Radio in 1997 as the co-host of the Radio 1 Breakfast Show - going on to become the first woman to host the show solo between October 1998 to March 2000.
Earlier this year, Chris shocked fans when he revealed that he will be leaving the BBC to return to his "spiritual home" at Virgin Radio - almost 20 years after he left the station.
