Zoe Ball has revealed how she almost burned her house down after lighting a candle – leaving firefighters to rush to the rescue.<\/p>\n

The 52 year old BBC Radio 2 presenter made the shock confession on-air, during her breakfast show, as she said that she had left a candle 'smouldering' from the night before in her living room. <\/p>\n

Zoe then praised the emergency services who came to her home for 'stopping my house burning down'. <\/p>\n

Her shock confession came when listeners of her breakfast show phoned in to talk about things that had happened to them 'for the first time'. <\/p>\n

Zoe said: "Something that happened to me for the first time was that yesterday, the fire brigade went to my house.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"I had left a candle burning in the lounge.<\/p>\n

"I was so obsessed with The Matrix and the fact that I had made a cake on Sunday, I had gone out and hadn't blown out one of the candles.<\/p>\n

"It was left smouldering in the lounge and at 9.25am my smoke alarms went off and thank goodness!<\/p>\n

"Otherwise I might have gone home to no home!"<\/p>\n

She continued: "Thank you to my neighbour Abs and my gorgeous Em who called the fire brigade and I'd like to give a big shout-out to Duncan and the Uckfield boys, Joe and Cameron and Steve, who went around, put out the candle and stopped my house from burning down."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Zoe and her boyfriend, Michael Reed, recently moved from their \u00a31million house in Ditchling, East Sussex, to Lewes, eight miles away.<\/p>\n

The radio star was previously married to world-famous DJ Fatboy Slim, aka, Norman Cook, with whom she shares son, Woody, 22, and daughter, Nelly, 13.<\/p>\n

Despite announcing their separation in 2016, Zoe and Norman have remained on good terms, so much so, that they can share a joke from time to time. <\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Zoe told her ex-husband, in jest, that she \u2018tried to block him from her memory\u2019 as she interviewed him on her radio show.<\/p>\n

Norman said: \u201cFirst time I went to Glastonbury was 1986 with The Housemartins.\u201d Zoe further probed: \u201cDid you play or you were just hanging out? You played.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When Norman replied they played on the Pyramid Stage, Zoe asked where they appeared on the bill.<\/span><\/p>\n

Norman quipped: \u201cDo you not know this? You know nothing about me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zoe replied: "I know nothing about you. I've tried to block it from my memory. No I\u2019m only kidding."<\/p>\n

The pair continued to make light of the fact they were once married. Zoe said they \u2018hadn\u2019t had a natter on a microphone on a radio show or a telly show for quite a long time\u2019.<\/p>\n
