Radio host and television presenter Zoe Ball previously revealed her medical diagnosis of ADHD, while speaking about a ‘meltdown’ she had during an episode of the Channel 4 show Taskmaster.
Both Zoe – on You Bet! On Tour this weekend (September 6) – and her son Woody have ADHD.
The condition – attention deficit hyperactivity disorder – is typically characterised by inattentiveness and difficulty in organising tasks. All of which Zoe struggled with when partaking in Taskmaster’s New Year’s Treat 2024.
Zoe Ball opens up about ADHD diagnosis
Speaking to MirrorOnline, Zoe discussed the effect that her condition can have on herself and her son, Woody.
“I am ADHD. My son and I are both, we’re quite similar. I make myself laugh sometimes, because if I’m in a small space and I’ve got loads of tasks to do, I can cover so many miles,” Zoe said.
She continued: “My family, they laugh because they’ll find things of mine in certain places and they’re like, ‘If you follow this, you’ll see what mum was trying to achieve.’”

She went on to talk about how her ADHD blew up during one particular task on the comedy show. It saw her star alongside fellow celebs Lenny Rush, Deborah Meaden, Kojey Radical, and Steve Backshall.
I physically started to melt down. That did hurt my head.
“I have 18 pairs of glasses and I will still lose all of them… my brain is just all over the goddamn shop. So a particular task involved a bit of timing, which is maths, which is, again, not a strength, I physically started to melt down. That did hurt my head,” Zoe admitted.
