Zoe Ball struggles with her shopping trolley during windswept trip the supermarket in Brighton
Zoe Ball was left struggling with her trolley as she took a trip to the supermarket in windy Brighton on Monday.
The Radio 2 DJ, 54, tried desperately to stop her shopping from rolling away after stocking up on essentials as plants ready for summer.
Zoe cut a low key figure on the outing in a pink hoodie which she teamed with jeans and a pair of comfy trainers.
The TV personality also sported aviator glasses and gold earrings as she was spotted putting her purchases in the boot of her car.
Zoe sold her £2M country home last year and moved to a townhouse between Brighton and Hove, close to ex-husband DJ Norman Cook, the father of her two children, from whom she separated in 2016.

Together the former couple, who divorced in 2020, share son Woody, 24, and 14-year-old daughter Nelly.
Last week Zoe revealed she was suffering from a new health condition, shortly after after making her Radio 2 comeback.
She gave her listeners an update on her wellbeing as she spoke on her show and revealed she has been diagnosed with bursitis.
Bursitis is when the fluid-filled sacs (bursa) that cushion the joints have become painful and swollen.
It comes after last year she revealed she had been battling another painful health condition - TMJ (temporomandibular joint) - after announcing her departure from her Breakfast Show host role.
At the time she said she was quitting her breakfast show to 'focus on family' and then also had to face the health condition which causes bad headaches.
Speaking about her bursitis this weekend on her show she said: 'Yes, it's come to that. Fifty-four and I got bursitis.'
Despite the pain she has still been training with her personal coach, Seth, in a bid to improve her strength.
'Thank you to Seth,' she said on the show. 'I found out I've got a… what is it? A rating of… was it a four or five on the fitness level?
'I was quite impressed with myself - out of, I think it's nine or ten. You've gotta start somewhere, haven't you?'.
It comes after Zoe returned to her new Saturday afternoon show on BBC Radio 2 in early May after previously taking a step back to focus on time with her family.
The star stepped down from her breakfast show in December to 'focus on her family,' bidding farewell to her £950,000 salary.
Reconnecting with her listeners she announced: 'Hello it's me, oh it's lovely to be back on a Saturday.
'This is where it all began for me back when I used to sweep up and make the teas.'
Happy to see the star's return, a viewer wrote: 'Great to have you back, Saturday afternoon is much better than having to wake up early.'
She proceeded to read out some other well wishes she then added: 'It is lovely to be here thanks for all your messages'.
After six years at the helm, Zoe handed her BBC Radio 2 breakfast show over to Scott Mills after stepping down to 'focus on family' just months after her mother Julia's death in April.
Then in February, Radio 2 officially announced programme changes, including a new weekly show with Zoe (1-3pm on Saturdays).
She will also be hosting two specials, including a BBC TV show celebrating Elaine Paige's 60-year career in showbusiness.
Helen Thomas, Head of Radio 2, said at the time: 'Zoe is one of the UK's most loved presenters, so I'm thrilled to announce that she has a new home on Radio 2 on Saturday lunchtimes.
'Plus she'll be hosting various specials for us throughout the year.'
What is bursitis?
Bursitis is when the fluid-filled sacs (bursa) that cushion the joints have become painful and swollen (inflamed).
It can usually be treated at home and should go away in a few weeks.
You might have bursitis if 1 of your joints is:
painful – usually a dull, achy pain
tender or warmer than surrounding skin
swollen
more painful when you move it or press on it
The area may also be red. This can be harder to see on brown or black skin.
Bursitis can affect any joint, but it's most common in the shoulders, hips, elbows or knees.

Love Island star reveals terrifying moment she was forced to run screaming after being followed by a man: 'I'm scared to walk around'
A Love Island star has revealed she was forced to run screaming after being followed by a man in a terrifying ordeal. Patsy Field took to social media to detail the horrifying incident with fans as she admitted she no longer felt safe in her local area. The former islander, 30, who took part in last year's summer edition of the ITV dating show, told fans how she went on a walk in Bromley shortly after 8pm. In a video, she explained how she had headed out in a bid to walk off 'being full of steak' after a family dinner at Miller and Carter. She said: 'I'd got an outfit on which could be a bit revealing but like I said, I'd never had any issues before. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I've always felt safe where I'm from.' Patsy told how her mother always discourages her from walking by herself at night because the area she's from gets 'a bed rep'. About 10 minutes into her stroll, Patsy realised there was a man walking close by her and she crossed the road. She said: 'I give it a couple of steps on the other side of the road and I thought, I'll just check and I turn around and he's crossed the road.' Unsettled, Patsy said she remained open-minded because there were parked cars on that side of the road. However, in disbelief, the man once again crossed the road after she had moved back. Thinking on her feet while panicking, Patsy stopped walking and looked down at her phone, with the man walking on past her. She continued: 'I can see the end of the road so he carries on walking, there's a zebra crossing right at the end of the road. Patsy told fans how she screamed for help before running off and ringing her mother to come and collect her 'He crosses the zebra crossing and he's about to be out of my sight, but then just as he's about to go out of sight, like away, he stops and turns back around and he just starts walking back towards me. 'I'm like what the f**k is going on.' As the man made contact with Patsy, she was left unnerved and began screaming for help and ran in the opposite direction. The reality star rang her mother who was able to come and pick her up. 'Now I'm scared to walk around my own area which is a shame as I've never had an issue before,' she admitted. While on Love Island, Patsy revealed she w as born with Erb palsy, a disability that affects the muscle function in her right arm and also means it is shorter in length. She told how she should have been born via cesarean, but doctors made the crucial error for her to be delivered naturally, resulting in the defect, which she has had to overcome her entire life.

Bridgerton star reveals terrifying moment phone thief threatened to STAB her in cafe attack – before she tackled him
A BRIDGERTON star has revealed a phone thief threatened to stab her in a cafe attack before she bravely tackled him. Genevieve Chenneour was sitting in a Joe & The Juice in Kensington, South West London when the terrifying ordeal happened. 3 3 Zacariah Boulares snuck up behind the 27-year-old and swiped her phone on February 8. Genevieve - who plays Clara Livingston in the hit Netflix show - revealed that the "full on scrap" lasted for about five minutes. She pinned the 18-year-old thief to the floor but has now said he threatened to stab her. "I was threatened with being stabbed, so it became a matter of life and death," she told ITV. "I remember kicking him back with my leg to create space in case he had a weapon on him." She described it as a "life-changing, crazy moment". The star said the ordeal has left her feeling scared to venture outside and she has even left her home in the capital to take a "break" from the lawless city. Astonishing footage from police showed Genevieve grabbing Boulares' shoulder as she realised her phone had been taken. She then tackled the serial thief to the ground with the help of another customer. Genevieve managed to take her phone back from Boulares before repeatedly hitting him with it in the posh cafe. She previously claimed she suffered a concussion in the horror in February and said even her dog was "traumatised". The star added: "They didn't expect me to stand up for myself – but I did." Algerian national Boulares previously pleaded guilty to stealing the phone. The teen also admitted common assault against fellow Joe and the Juice customer Carlo Kurcishi, who had stepped in to help. Boulares pleaded guilty to a separate charge of theft after he swiped a black leather hand bag from a diner at a pizza restaurant. The court heard he has 12 previous convictions for a total of 28 offences - all relating to theft. His rap sheet includes threatening to cut off Aled Jones' arm while stealing his £17,000 Rolex. The Songs of Praise presenter, 52, was out with his son Lucas when he was targeted near their home in Chiswick, South West London. Boulares - then aged 16 - pulled out 20 inch machete and repeatedly threatened Aled in a bid to steal the luxury timepiece. He told him: "Give me your f***king Rolex or I will cut your arm off." Aled handed over the £17,000 Rolex Daytona watch rather than fight with the armed robber. He and his son bravely followed the 6ft teen but when he spotted them, he snarled: "Walk the other way or I will cut your head off." Boulares was given a two year training and detention order after pleading guilty to robbery at Ealing Youth Court. But he was released from youth detention early after serving just 14 months of his 24-month sentence. He will be sentenced for robbing Genevieve on June 17 at Isleworth Crown Court. 3

How To Train Your Dragon film review: It's a heartfelt film but not as magical second time around
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON (PG) 125mins ★★★☆☆ 4 4 THIS live-action adaptation of How To Train Your Dragon is a gorgeous, heartfelt film full of emotion and excitement. However, as it sticks so closely to the 2010 animated version of Cressida Cowell's books, it feels more like a copy than a fresh take on the beloved story. Director Dean DeBlois returns, along with composer John Powell and Gerard Butler, now playing Stoick in person. It's clear they all care deeply about the original. Still, that reverence and respect keeps the film from taking risks or trying anything new and fresh. The story is the same — and, naturally, it still works. Hiccup (Mason Thames), a young Viking with more brain power than physical prowess, lives on the rugged isle of Berk. Despite his warrior lineage, the teenager has never quite fitted in with his tribe. Thrilling scenes When he finds an injured young dragon, instead of killing it like he's supposed to, Hiccup decides to help it learn to fly again. Their unlikely friendship drives this beautifully touching story and eventually changes everything for Hiccup and his people. Thames brings warmth and charm to the role, and Toothless — thanks to inspired CGI — is as expressive and lovable as ever. Nico Parker's Astrid gets more screen time in this version, and she makes the most of it. Her performance is strong, and her character feels sturdier and more developed. Gerard Butler does a solid job as Stoick, Hiccup's tough-but-caring father, though his live-action performance isn't quite as memorable as his voice work in the original. Elsewhere, Nick Frost is hugely likeable as Gobber the Belch, a pal of Stoick's and teacher of the tribe's dragon-training recruits. Visually, the film looks beautiful. Cinematographer Bill Pope captures the rough beauty of Berk and creates some thrilling dragon flight scenes. But even at its most stunning, the movie struggles to match the magic and creativity of the animated version's look and feel. The adaptation moves along smoothly and confidently, but rarely manages to surprise. For people who are new to the story, it will be exciting and moving. But for fans of the original, it may feel a little too familiar and not as magical second time around. ★★★★☆ 4 AFTER leaving prison, Molly Brown finds herself in a catch-22 situation. To get her two young children back, she needs to have a home for them to live in. But the council will only provide Molly with accommodation if she has custody of her kids. This kitchen sink drama from British director Daisy-May Hudson will have you shifting awkwardly in your seat as Molly makes one terrible decision after another in an attempt to see the children she so clearly loves. Hudson, whose own mum was made homeless, pulls the audience's sympathies this way and that. On the one side, Molly has been dealt a poor hand due to her alcoholic and belittling mum who calls her Lollipop, but on the other she doesn't help herself by threatening social services. Newcomer Posy Sterling is a revelation as the troubled mum. But not all the cast impress and if you want to know why Molly spent time behind bars, you'll be left disappointed. Lollipop is not a piece of throwaway confectionery but isn't for cinemagoers who prefer to escape into a sweet-tasting world. ★★★☆☆ 4 JOHN MACLEAN's Tornado is a unique, somewhat sad revenge western full of dark, beautiful imagery. The story takes place in a bleak, empty landscape of 18th-century Scotland and combines elements of folk legends and samurai-style action to create an interesting, if slightly muddled storyline. Mitsuki Kimura (credited as Kôki) brings spikey charisma to the role of Tornado, a travelling artist and sword performer who roams the empty moors with her father (Takehiro Hira), staging bizarre puppet and samurai shows to wandering villagers. But their eccentric life is shattered when a child's theft of gold drags them into the path of Sugarman (a brilliant Tim Roth) and his brutal criminal gang. Meanwhile, Slow Horses star Jack Lowden, who plays one of Sugarman's henchmen, is let down by a screenplay that gives him little to work with. The film's best asset is its atmosphere – the windswept landscapes feel almost otherworldly and the score adds eerie tension. Tornado may not be to everyone's taste, but its originality deserves more than a nod of respect.
