Zoe Ball is certainly celebrating her 50th birthday in style - despite England's lockdown! The It Takes Two presenter was treated to the most incredible birthday cake by her loved ones as they marked her milestone a day early with a Zoom party.

"Popped early. My beloveds have spoilt me HUGE AMOUNTS. Ain't no party like grandma's tea party #blessed #bonanza #ballsup #bigbird #49plusdoOne [sic]," she wrote on Sunday alongside a series of images.

The cake, made by The Bearded Foodies Kitchen, looked too good to eat thanks to its vanilla buttercream and vanilla sponge filling. As well as being topped with purple and red flowers, the delicious treat was decorated with pink and white piped icing, while covered in drippings of white chocolate.
