Zoe Ball looks glitzy leaving Strictly studios on her 50th birthday

She celebrated her 50th birthday amid England’s second national lockdown on Monday.

Yet Zoe Ball appeared in excellent spirits as she left the Elstree Studios on her milestone celebration after filming Strictly’s spin-off show It Takes Two.  

The TV personality, 50, looked sensational in a floating black maxi dress decorated with pink and green patterns as she strutted across the studio’s car park.

She added a touch of glamour to her birthday attire with a pair of extravagant black stiletto boots featuring a glitzy silver toe cap.

The blonde beauty wore her signature fringed locks naturally cascading down her back as she chatted to a friend across the car park.

Zoe could be seen lovingly blowing a kiss to her pal as she bid farewell to the It Takes Two team before heading home after her exciting day.

But the radio host was not able to have a big celebration for her 50th birthday amid strict Covid-19 restrictions, which see the Strictly stars social distancing on the show.

And she did not take the day off for her milestone birthday as she ploughed ahead with filming for Strictly’s spin-off show It Takes Two on Monday.

Before heading to the studios, she posted a throwback snap on Instagram showing one of her previous birthdays on the series, which saw her being gifted cupcakes.

The cheery snap saw her posing alongside Michael Buble who she said she will ‘miss’ while celebrating her birthday on the set of It Takes Two this year.

Captioning alongside the picture, she also thanked the listeners of The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show and her ‘ace colleagues’ for all the birthday well-wishes.

She continued: ‘Thanks to all the listeners, my ace colleagues & the gorgeous peeps who’ve sent birthday wishes today. ♥️⁣

‘Made an old gal feel well perky.⁣ On my way to ITT, will miss the Buble this year! Xx’

She later took to her Instagram stories to give her fans a sneak peek of the generous birthday presents she was given by her It Takes Two ‘gang’.

The picture was filled with bouquets of flowers, a box from Lola’s cupcakes and other pink gift bags which she had been gifted by her friends and colleagues.

The room was completely filled with hoards of pink confetti, fuchsia balloons and two giant number ’50’ balloons to mark her milestone.

Alongside the photograph, she penned: ‘Love to all my ITT gang [heart emoji]’

Earlier this moth, she revealed that she was finding England’s second lockdown ’emotional’ and sent her best wishes to her 543,000 Instagram followers.

She also showed her appreciation for her two children as she shared the heart-warming notes they left around her Sussex home to let her know how loved she is.

Zoe is mother to Woody, 19, and Nelly, 10, who she shares with her ex-husband and Fatboy Slim DJ, Norman Cook, 57.

And she has recently taken the next step with her boyfriend Michael Reed as the pair have moved into a splendid £1.5million mansion in Lewes, Sussex, after she got a whopping £1million BBC pay rise.

Sharing a look at her home, Zoe took a series of snaps of the kids’ messages left on her window and shelf and shared them to Instagram.

She wrote: ‘The joy of seeing these messages from my beautiful kids this am. Heart kaboom. #blessed #bestbears #sunshine #gratitudes.

‘It’s been a pretty emotional week for everyone. Hope you’re staying safe out there. The sunshine is helping. Have a restful weekend ☀️.’
