After fun catching up with pal Vernon Kay, the good vibes from the studio quickly faded when Zoe returned to her shattered window.
She explained: "Someone had smashed the front window of my car, that's never happened to me before."
Initially left "frozen" by the upsetting find, Zoe used a festival poncho in the car to cover the damaged window.
She then blasted the Radio 2 country show at ear-splitting volume as she carefully drove the 64 miles home to Brighton.
Zoe was relieved nothing of value was taken, though she admitted: "I got in and I had a massive cry."
"It was good, I love a big blub. The ones where you wake up in the morning and your face is a bit swollen and you're like, 'Well, I'm glad I got that out'."
She partly blamed herself for the theft, having left her bag on display.
She explained: "Do you know what I did? I did a stupid thing, I was so busy running into The One Show with my suits and my bag and everything.
"And we were going to do a picture with our Spotify picture, which was amazing, and I left a bag on the front seat. Big no, no in London, idiot. Luckily, nothing in it except my diary."
In solidarity, Jo then shared how she had a phone pinched from her hand in a street mugging.

She said: "Just a boy on a bike just literally snatched it from my hand.
"And then you having something like this, it's just so disappointing that people would do that to another person."

Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters cast: who is in the cast?
3 . Helen George Call the Midwife star Helen George is part of the cast for this ITV series. She is best known for playing Trixie on the iconic BBC show. She said: 'I was asked whether I'd be interested and my initial thought was, this sounds so mad and amazing, of course I have to say yes. And then I started thinking about what was being asked of me. I am quite scared of swimming and I started to think, is this a good idea? Let alone the sharks. But I really wanted to push myself and it sounded like such an interesting thing to be part of and something I knew nothing about, and with an amazing group around me. So it just felt like a no-brainer.' | Plimsoll Productions/ITV Photo: Plimsoll Productions/ITV

BBC drama hailed 'phenomenal' by viewers lands on Netflix
BBC drama hailed 'phenomenal' by viewers lands on Netflix The romantic drama first aired on BBC Three in 2020 and was a huge hit with fans of the original novel and TV viewers v The iconic BBC drama featuring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal, is available to watch on a number of platforms (Image: BBC) A beloved BBC drama that viewers have praised as "phenomenal" has now landed on Netflix for eager audiences to discover. The Ireland-set series Normal People, featuring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal, is currently available for binge-watching on the streaming platform. The programme, adapted from Sally Rooney's 2018 novel of the same title, chronicles the tumultuous romantic journey of Marianne Sheridan (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and Connell Waldron (Paul Mescal). The show captures the intense emotions of their complex relationship as they navigate the challenging transition into adulthood. Originally broadcast in 2020 during the early days of the Covid pandemic, on BBC Three, the series became an instant sensation amongst audiences. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter Following its migration to Netflix, it has achieved remarkable success, currently occupying the fifth position in Netflix's top 10 rankings. For those yet to experience this compelling drama, all 12 episodes of the romantic series are now ready to stream on Netflix. Normal People, featuring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal, is currently available for binge-watching on Netflix (Image: BBC) Without a subscription, viewers can still catch it on BBC iPlayer, whilst Disney+ subscribers also have access to the programme. Normal People, helmed by directors Hettie Macdonald and Academy Award nominee Lenny Abrahamson, garnered widespread critical praise upon its debut and secured four nominations at the Primetime Emmy Awards, reports the Daily Record. The series boasts an outstanding 91 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. One reviewer commented: "The 12-episode limited series powerfully captures the angst and intensity of young love as the pair each navigates their respective struggles with friendships, trauma, and mental health. "Expectations might be high, but no one needs to worry. If this really is the only BBC drama we get this year, at least it's a good one," another online critic chimed in. Viewers also showered the show with praise. One five-star review read: "Deeply moving. Lives long in the memory after watching." Applauding the lead actors, another viewer commented: "Daisy Edgar Jones and Paul Mescal are mesmerizing in this slow paced story. "Their vulnerability is painful and beautiful to watch. Their chemistry is everything and this would have failed without them." This sentiment was echoed by another fan who said: "Absolute perfection. "Beautifully filmed with a great music score and pulled together by two extraordinary performances by Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones. "You felt every moment with the characters and at the end you just want to go back and watch it all over again. "Real, raw and vulnerable. This highly emotional show had me hooked from the beginning," another viewer expressed. However, not everyone was enamoured with the series. One less favourable review read: "Likable leads but the story goes from over the top love to unrealistic breakups and back again. I had enough of it by episode 7." Article continues below While the romantic drama has stirred both critics and viewers alike, there's been speculation about a potential sequel. Both Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal hinted last year that a follow-up could be on the horizon, so stay tuned.
