Zoe Ball finds time is slipping through her fingersas she remembers when she was seven years old and dancing to Abba at her friend’s house. The memory is particularly timely, as the broadcaster is host of new talent show Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream.
“It was a dream job for me,” she exclusively tells hello! as her mind wanders back to being a young girl growing up in Farnham Common, Buckinghamshire, as the child of renowned children’s TV presenter and entertainer Johnny.
“I’ve always loved Abba since I was seven years old. I used to do dance routines with my friends at my friend Claire’s house in the front room. I still remember our Voulez-Vous routine to this very day.”
