Norman Cook praises ‘darling’ ex wife Zoe Ball after split despite music video mishap

He and Zoe Ball also had another child, daughter Nelly, in 2010. They broke up in 2016 after 18 years of marriage.

Zoe now lives in a property in Ashdown Forest with her new boyfriend Michael Reed, while Norman has a bachelor pad beside the seafront in Hove and just steps from his own café.

The pair were once referred to as the “Posh and Becks” of the music world, although Norman admits that he “fell out of love with making music” not long after his daughter’s birth.

For the past decade, he has regarded himself as more of a DJ than a producer or musical artist, although in the past he has had to hide his obsession with Abba’s Dancing Queen.

He joked on the podcast that his secret passion for the track normally had to take a backseat during his career, due to fears that if he played it to his usual audience, he’d “get lynched”.
