It means Zoe, 48, saw the show score its lowest listener numbers in a decade, according to audience research body Rajar.

But Britain’s Got Talent favourite Amanda Holden, 48, pulled in 4.6million weekly listeners with her national show on Heart Breakfast.

She launched it with Jamie Theakston, also 48, in June. Amanda said: “I’m so happy and proud to be part of the UK’s biggest commercial breakfast show.

“A big thank you to our wonderful listeners up and down the country for tuning in each morning and getting involved to make it so much fun.”
