Early life
Ball was born in Bristol and attended Kingswood Primary School on the eastern edge of the city. The family moved to Bolton, Lancashire, where he attended Bolton County Grammar School later in his life. He left formal education with two "O" levels, one in mathematics and one in geography. He was called up to national service and spent three years in the Royal Air Force. He was sent to Wales as a radar operator and then sent to Germany to monitor the Hamburg-Berlin air corridor.
Ball began his entertainment career by working as a Butlin's Redcoat and a cabaret entertainer. John Ball, a footballer for Bolton Wanderers from 1950 to 1958, was nicknamed Johnny after his nickname, and the name stuck.
Personal life
Zoe Ball's daughter, Julia née Anderson, appeared on BBC TV in the first time, and she now appears on BBC Radio 2. When Zoe was two years old, the couple divorced.
In Buckinghamshire, Ball lives with his new wife Diane.
Television and radio career
Ball appeared on children's television from the mid 1970s to the 1980s, presenting a number of science and technology programs for children (including Think Again; Think Again; Remember...This Way and Johnny Ball Reveals All). He was also one of the founders of Play School, a preschool program that began in 1967 and then continued into the 1970s and beyond. Ball also performed on screen for several shows, including Crackerjack. Both of these shows (except the ITV show...Reveals All) appeared on the BBC. Ball's shows were known for presenting scientific and technological principles in a fun and approachable way for young people.
He appeared on The Terry and Gaby Show in 2003, where he answered viewers' questions. In July 2004, he was ranked in the top 40 most eccentric TV presenters of all time. On BBC Four, he hosted a Horizon special on ageing in July 2012. He has appeared in television and Channel 4 television commercials as well as radio ads for the Yorkshire-based company Help-Link.
Ball appeared on the Strictly Come Dancing television show in 2012, where he was paired with Aliona Vilani. Vilani's torn ligaments were torn during a three-week break, prompting her to pull temporarily from the program. In the first week, she was replaced by Iveta Lukoit, who was with Ball. Vilani performed in Ball's last group dance. Ball said Vilani faked the accident in a television interview in October 2017, with Vilani dendenying the allegation and saying she'd seek legal assistance regarding Ball's remarks. He was 74 at the time, and he was the oldest contestant in the show's history.
