Zoe Returns To ITT

Zoe Ball has revealed that she will be returning to It Takes Two this autumn.

She told the Daily Star: “I’m going to be back for it. I love doing the show. It’s amazing how many people come up to me in the street to say hello. I think because we’re on at teatime people watch it before they put their kids to bed.”

And if you didn't get tickets for It Takes Two last year, you're not alone. "Last series we were the second most in demand show when it came to requests for audience tickets. The only show ahead of us was Strictly itself, so that’s just great to hear. We were really chuffed.”

Zoe's not too concerned about who takes part: “There are always people you want to see do it, like Joanna Lumley and John Bishop. To be honest, I often look at who is in the line-up and go ‘really?’. But then it’s always the most unlikely people you fall in love with.”
