Zoe Ball has paid a heartfelt tribute to late partner Billy Yates as she marked seven years since his death.

The radio host, 53, took to Instagram with the post just a week after confirming the tragic death of her mother Julia Peckham from pancreatic cancer aged 79.

Camera man Billy sadly took his own life in May 2017 after a long battle with depression, with Zoe revealing she’d been ‘in shock for two years’ following the loss.

Alongside a snap of Billy, Zoe penned: ‘7 years kisses in the sky’.

Fans and famous friends sent supportive messages in the comments, including Zoe’s Radio 2 stand-in Gaby Roslin who said: ‘Hugs & love always Zoe’.
