Zoe Ball's son Woody Cook shares tribute to his 'wonderful Granny J' after Radio 2 star announced the death of her mother Julia following short battle with pancreatic cancer


Woody Cook has paid tribute to his belove grandmother Julia, following her death after a short battle with pancreatic cancer.

Earlier this week, the 53-year-old told her BBC Radio 2 listeners Julia had been transferred to a hospice, as she dedicated a Bon Jovi song to paramedics who helped her. Zoe shared the heartbreaking news last week that Julia was being transferred into hospice care, telling listeners that things were 'pretty tough at the moment for the family.' A year after his death, Zoe took part in a gruelling Sport Relief challenge to cycle 350 miles in five days in his memory and to raise awareness of mental health issues.
