Zoe Ball's ex Norman Cook scolds her on Radio 2 after she forgets their marriage
Norman Cook scolded Zoe Ball during an interview on Radio 2 after the presenter 'forgot' their marriage.
Zoe, 52, and her DJ husband Norman Cook, otherwise known as Fatboy Slim, announced in 2016 that they had 'come to the end of our rainbow' after 18 years of marriage.
The former couple are clearly on very warm terms still, as Norman, 59, joined Zoe on Radio 2 this morning for an exclusive chat about all things Glastonbury as the annual festival in Worthy Farm continues over the weekend.
Fatboy Slim is performing at this year's festival, and told Zoe that he has been busy preparing his set and trying to shorten his tracks in order for them to fit into an entire show.
"I'm in Brighton, just prepping for Glastonbury. Trying to shorten all my tracks so I can get them all in on the show," he told his ex wife on the show.

"I now welcome to the show somebody you may know from The Housemartins, Pizzaman, Beats International – I nearly forgot what you were called then, sorry," Zoe said.
To which Norman replied: "And such things as our marriage."
"And such things as our marriage. It is Fatboy Slim aka Norman Cook," Zoe clapped back.
It comes after Norman credited his ex wife Zoe for keeping him grounded throughout his successful career.
Earlier this year, the Praise You hit-maker appeared on the Changes podcast where he shared: "One thing I did have to keep a lid on during that crazy time was my ego. While you’ve got licence to break rules, you’ve always got a lot of people who’ll let you get away with murder.
"Zoe was really good for me for that, because she knew the fame game and we would sort of check each other.

"We were both quite good at keeping each other’s feet on the ground. Because it’s hard when everyone’s saying: “Here, have this, take this, drink this, you’re brilliant.”
"It’s hard to keep some kind of limit and say: “I am actually a human being, not a superstar.” I think we probably saved each other a lot of bother."

Zoe and Norman tied the knot in a stunning ceremony in 1999.
Despite having a temporary separation in 2003, the pair rekindled their happy marriage and had two children together before they ultimately decided to call it quits in 2016.
