Zoe Ball suffering from painful condition weeks after returning to Radio 2
Radio icon Zoe Ball has revealed she's suffering from another painful condition, weeks after she returned to Radio 2. Late last year, the 54-year-old presenter stepped away from her breakfast slot after taking some time off due to personal matters. She gave an update on her health during her new Saturday afternoon show and revealed she has been struggling with pain from bursitis. 'Yes it's come to that,' Zoe sighed, having previously shared that she was suffering from intense headaches and jaw pain in November. The presenter had TMJ – temporomandibular joint disorder – a dysfunction which causes pain and tenderness in jaw joints. Similarly, bursitis affects the joints as it is an inflammation of the bursae, fluid-filled sacs between the bones, muscles, and tendons. The condition usually eases within a few weeks but can be incredibly painful as the areas around the joints swell due to overuse or injury. She isn't letting her pain stop her working out though as Zoe said she's been heading to the gym in her downtime to improve her fitness. Apparently, the radio star was told by her personal trainer, Seth, that her fitness level was only at a four or a five. She shared: 'Thank you to Seth, who gave me…I found out that 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, and out of, I think it's nine or ten. You've gotta start somewhere, haven't you? For goodness' sake. 'He's helping me with my bursitis. Yes, it's come to that – 54 and I got bursitis.' Zoe's return to radio in May, after 'working in a cafe' owned by ex-husband Norman Cook – aka Fatboy Slim, was welcomed by her avid listeners. Playing A Taste Of Honey's Boogie Oogie Oogie to open her new show, she joked she was 'back once again with the ill behaviour'. 'Should we kick off with this? Let's get this show on the road, seat belts off, doors to manual.' More Trending Her opening remark was taken from Renegade Master by DJ Wildchild, which was remixed by Fatboy Slim in 1998 when it reached number three on the UK singles chart. She added: 'It's lovely to be back on a Saturday, this is where it all began for me, back in the day when I used to sweep up and make the teas, I used to do early mornings, and then I did the slot where Rylan is.' Reading comments sent in from listeners, Zoe revealed she'd been enjoying 'a few lie-ins' after quitting the early morning slot. 'People have learned not to phone me before 9.30am unless I'm doing the school run,' she laughed before the aforementioned Rylan Clark burst into the room, elated to see her. Got a story?

Sickening image of gangster who triggered Scotland's drug war after revenge slashing
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A sickening image of the man who sparked Scotland's violent turf war has been shared after he was brutally attacked. The individual, who is shown with severe slash injuries to his face, is the hood who set up the £500k cocaine deal to rip off Dubai-based Mr Big Ross McGill with a payment of fake notes, reports The Daily Record. The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, arranged the meeting with McGill for associates of Edinburgh mob boss Mark Richardson earlier this year. McGill has since ordered a series of terrifying revenge attacks on Richardson and his close associates, Glasgow's Daniel crime clan. A source close his henchmen Tamo Junto (TMJ) claims the group tracked the drug deal middleman down to a bolthole in Thailand to carry out the vicious blade attack. The image of his injuries was released in a video on Friday as McGill's men warned Scotland's gang war is far from over just one day after reports of a truce emerged. The source said: 'McGill got the guy who arranged the deal kidnapped and brought to one of his men who slashed him right across the face. 'He was never going to get away with it. McGill has built up a massive network of connections who are more than willing to help him out. The middleman is lucky he wasn't killed, but McGill was already planning a bigger retaliation. 'He is going to bring down the entire Richardson crew and everyone associated with them. What you are seeing playing out on the streets of Scotland now is the result of people thinking McGill is a soft touch and that they could rip him off and get away with it.' The source said reports that a truce has been agreed by McGill and his top targets is hard to believe as Tamo Junto vowed to continue their campaign of violence in their latest video. TMJ state in the clip that anyone linked to either the Richardson or Daniel mobs remain at the top of their hit-list. A message in the footage reads: 'TMJ will continue to target anyone associated with the Daniel family or Mark Richardson. 'There will never be a truce between TMJ and the Gremlins. We have terrorised you since March and will continue to do so. 'Some of you have fled your homes. Some of you have fled Scotland. Some of you sleep with fire extinguishers. 'Some of you have bulletproof windows. Some of you have offered us money to leave you alone. Some of you have tried to contact us for peace. 'Some of you have offered us information on your own family and friends. We do our talking on the streets. We aren't going away. We will continue to target you. We have no rules or limits. Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages. 'We are coming for you.' The disturbing video also showed a number of firebombings, shootings and blade attacks that TMJ have claimed responsibility for across Edinburgh and Glasgow in recent months. Among them are two images of the middleman gangster with a huge slash mark running from his ear to his mouth as blood still oozing from the wound. The war broke out in March when a number of homes and businesses in Edinburgh linked to Richardson were targeted. The violence spread to Glasgow in April after a carpet and flooring unit owned by Daniel enforcer Craig 'Rob Roy' Gallagher was torched in Bishopbriggs. In an attack in the Milton area of the city, a female pensioner and 12-year-old boy were injured after hoods stormed their home looking for a high-ranking member of the Daniel family. McGill's men went on to target the home of Steven 'Bonzo' Daniel, as well as the properties of his mum Annette, uncle Norman and sister Kelly 'Bo' Green. Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages. Earlier in May, two men were attacked with a machete at a garage owned by Robert Daniel in East Kilbride. We previously told how McGill was being fed information about the Daniel clan's movements by their arch enemies, the Lyons family. Mob boss Stevie Lyons removed himself from the feud amidst a police crackdown on the violence. The kingpin ordered his footsoldiers to concentrate on the family's own interests after reports on arrests across Glasgow and Edinburgh filtered through to his Dubai bolthole. A source said: He said: 'The heat from the police is getting too much for Steven and he wants nothing to do with it anymore. 'His mob are still very active in the north of Glasgow, while he is in Dubai and he wants to keep it that way so his lads are now under strict orders to keep out of the gang war. 'They still have their own feud with the Daniel family and if the opportunity presents itself to target any of them they will take it, but it won't be for Ross McGill.' The turf war has led to an equally dramatic police operation to catch the thugs. Chief Constable Jo Farrell named the crackdown Operation Portaledge. Incidents across the country have led to a total of 41 arrests.

Gangland enforcers slam reports of "truce" as they vow to carry on turf war violence
The crime group released the video after reports of a truce between the Daniel and Lyons family. Gangland enforcers Tamo Junto (TMJ) have vowed to carry on their turf war despite reports of a truce between the Lyons and Daniel families. We reported earlier that a well-placed source said the Dubai-based Mr Big behind attacks on Daniel targets, Ross McGill, had agreed to end hostilities after being leaned on by cartel bosses in Dubai. They were said to be 'unhappy' over a police crackdown on the turf war which has led to a slowdown in the lucrative drug trade in Scotland. But McGill's faceless gang Tamo Junto have since released a video saying the war will continue. McGill has been waging war on Mark Richardson's crime mob from Edinburgh and the Daniel clan from Glasgow since March after he was ripped off in a £500,000 cocaine deal when the buyer used fake bank notes. The video released by the TMJ crime gang on Friday morning states that anyone linked to the Daniel Clan or Mark Richardson remains a target for their group. The clip mocked their rivals for having fled their homes and promised that they would do their talking on the streets. They said: "TMJ will continue to target anyone associated with the Daniel family or Mark Richardson. "There will never be a truce between TMJ and the Gremlins. "We have terrorised you since March and will continue to do so. "Some of you have fled your homes. "Some of you have fled Scotland. "Some of you sleep with fire extinguishers. "Some of you have bulletproof windows. "Some of you have offered us money to leave you alone. "Some of you have tried to contact us for peace. "Some of you have offered us information on your own family and friends." "We do our talking on the streets. We aren't going away. "We will continue to target you. We have no rules or limits. "We are coming for you." It comes after we told that the Lyons crime gang have pulled out of the feud over concerns about the police crack down. The clan were said to have been feeding McGill information about their rivals, the Daniel family, but boss Steven Lyons, 44, made the call to concentrate on his own interests. A source said he issued the order over fears his enforcers could be arrested and jailed and his family would lose their grip on power in the north of Glasgow. Police Scotland has arrested 41 people in connection with a series of linked incidents across the country since March. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Mob waging gang war on Scotland's streets DENY reports of a truce – and vow 'we aren't going away'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A VICIOUS mob waging a gang war on Scotland's streets have DENIED reports of a truce - and have vowed 'we aren't going away.' It was claimed today that rival crews from the Lyons and Daniel factions have agreed to halt the violence on orders from Dubai-based mob boss Ross McGill, 31. 3 The message from TMJ flatly denied reports of a truce 3 The video concluded with the sinister warning that the group are still going to target their rivals 3 Ex-Union Bears ultra Ross McGill is behind the gang war But sinister group Tamo Junto (TMJ) - who claim to be waging war against the Daniel's crime clan and its associates - today blew those claims out of the water. And they said they would continue to target the Daniel clan or anyone associated with drugs kingpin Mark Richardson, 38. They said: 'We have terrorised you since March and we will continue to do so. 'Despite false claims in the media, TMJ will continue to target anyone associated with the Daniel family or Mark Richardson. 'There will never be a truce between TMJ and the Gremlins. 'We aren't going away - we will continue to target you. 'We have no rules, we have no limits. 'We are coming for you.' They also mocked their rivals for trying to buy their way out of the firing line using cash or info - and said beefed-up security was futile. The video continued: 'Some of you have fled your homes, some of you have fled Scotland. The DOWNFALL of Scotland's biggest gangster - Jamie 'The Iceman' Stevenson Part Two 'Some of you sleep with fire extinguishers, some of you have installed bullet proof windows. 'Some of you have offered us money to be left alone. 'Some of you have tried to contact us for peace. 'Some of you have offered us information on your own friends and family. 'We don't need to create fake stories for the media or set up social media pages, we do our talking on the streets.' The sinister video then shows numerous firebombings on homes, businesses and cars. It also shows two men who were apparently slashed in the bloody war. Last Wednesday, David McMillan, 54, was attacked with a machete at his plush home in Greenbank, Edinburgh - the third time his home had been targeted. McMillan is a close pal of caged crime boss Mark Richardson, whose associates have been blamed by McGill for ripping him off over a £500,000 drug deal using fake notes. Cops investigating the mayhem have revealed they've arrested 41 people in connection with the gangland war. The savagery comes days after a machete murder bid on convicted heroin dealer Robert Daniel – a leading member of Glasgow's notorious Daniel crime family who are allied to Richardson. We told how two men aged 45 and 41 suffered horror wounds when three thugs burst into CS Accident Repair Garage looking for Daniel, 50, but turned their fury on innocent workers. The culprits pounced on Monday before speeding off in an Audi after 'chopping up' two men who were later rushed to hospital with horrific injuries. The pair drove four miles to Blantyre, Lanarkshire, then clambered into a red Vauxhall Astra which had followed them to a rendezvous point near a children's nursery before it raced away. The Scottish Sun was the firest newspaper to reveal that ex-Rangers ultra Ross McGill, nicknamed 'Miami', was behind the terrifying gangland war on Scotland's streets. McGill has been hunted by cops for three years over claims he was involved in drug dealing and serious crime. But he fled the UK in 2022 — months after he announced he was stepping down as Rangers ultras' leader — amid fears he would be arrested after cops cracked encrypted phone network EncroChat. He has resurfaced as an aspiring crimelord, calling the shots on an ongoing underworld turf feud that has seen a wave of attacks in and around Edinburgh and Glasgow. The Scot was recently snapped in a white Rolls-Royce in the desert haven favoured by criminals eager to evade the law. Previously he was a top figure in the fanatical Gers supporters group — even posing for photos next to captain James Tavernier, 33, and ex-manager Steven Gerrard, 44.
