Radio DJ Zoe Ball and ex-husband Fatboy Slim bid an emotional farewell to son Woody as he headed off to university.

The BBC Radio 2 breakfast show presenter, 49, and her ex-husband, real name Norman Cook, came together to see off their son Woody, 19, as he headed off to Bristol for university.

Their son is already well-known to the British public for his stints on Channel 4 reality series The Circle and for joining his mum on Celebrity Gogglebox.

Sharing a flurry of images on Instagram yesterday, Zoe showed one of Woody in a yellow and black t-shirt and black face mask as he prepared to say goodbye to his parents, while another showed a beaming Norman beside his son.

She also shared a beaming selfie with Woody and Norman, along with a picture of her ex with both Woody and his little sister Nelly.

In one final cute shot, Woody was seen holding the family cat and smiling to the camera.

Zoe captioned the images: " #Bristol take care of my best boy.

"#wooniversity#feels#proudmama LOVE for any emotional parents out there."

The emotional post struck a chord with Zoe's followers who commented on her post.

One replied to Zoe: "Leaving my Daughter at uni was the worst day of my life but the start of a new adventure for her. Sending much love."

Another penned: "He’ll be in fine company down there angel ...hugest love to you all xxx."

Meanwhile, another commented: "endless moment of heartache and joy and sadness and grief and joy and joy and pride and pride and joy and grief and worry and peace and joy and pride..."

Finally, one fan concluded: "I live in Bristol! Great City! He will be happy for sure! Good luck xx."

Zoe was married to Fatboy Slim from 1999 until their divorce in 2016.

Son Woody was born in 2000, with the couple briefly splitting in 2003 but they later went on to reconcile.

They went on to have daughter Nelly in 2010 before announcing their split in September 2016 after 18 years together.

Zoe is now in a relationship with construction businessman Michael Reed, who she began seeing in 2017.
