In her most in-depth chat since separating from the superstar DJ, real name Norman Cook, in September last year, Zoe said: “I am menopausal. I am hot and hairy.

“It is like my last hurrah. Is it going to get better? Do I do HRT (hormone replacement therapy) or do I have the funny tea? This is the quandary.”

She added: “Have more sex? I have just left my marriage. OK that is a good tip. HRT and more sex, I will take that.”

Zoe, who has recently been dating Antiques Roadshow cameraman Billy Yates, 40, also revealed she’s finally embracing getting old having made her name as a Nineties ladette alongside fellow female TV stars Sara Cox and Denise Van Outen.

Have more sex? I have just left my marriage. OK that is a good tip. HRT and more sex, I will take that.

She said: “The best thing about getting older is big pants and comfortable shoes. These were from M&S.

“I am starting to embrace the older age thing. You just stop caring about stuff so much which is nice.
“I have had a bit of a year of self discovery.”

Zoe, whose split with Norman, 53, came eight months after she was seen kissing 23-year-old boyband singer Tay Tay Starhz, revealed she loves her job on Strictly as she gets all the gossip on the romances.

The mum-of-two said: “My job is all a pleasure. I can’t really believe I have got away with it for so many years as effectively I just bump along really generally with no point.

“I do love my job and it is quite random. Obviously you get all the gossip from Strictly which is great.

“You get to look at Aljaz close up which is fun.”

The telly star also admitted she had developed a surprising crush on American actor and filmmaker Warren Beatty.

She said: “I interviewed Warren the other day and that was amazing. He is 80 but I still would..”

If she hadn’t landed her role as a Strictly host, Zoe confessed that she would have like to have been a magician’s assistant.

The Big Family Cooking Showdown co-host said: “I wanted to be the saw-the-lady-in-half trick lady. I nearly did it. I wanted to be the lady who was sawn in half.

“Me and my friend made our own trick. We were in Glastonbury and we had been up for days and we wanted to make people pay to come and see us.

“I have tried to buy one of the tricks online. Maybe Debbie McGee has one.”
