King Charles will have his coronation concert tonight and it’s set to feature some big music legends and famous faces.
BBC Radio 2 star Zoe Ball was supposed to be making an appearance to cover the concert for the station. However, she’s revealed today (May 7) that she’s been struck down with a sickness bug.
Earlier this week, the former Strictly star expressed her excitement to be a part of the concert celebrations. She wrote on Twitter: “Very excited to be at Windsor Castle next Sunday for the #CoronationConcert. Biggest stage EVER in Britain incoming… looks SO GOOD!”
