HAVE you seen Zoe Ball cycling through Stourbridge?
The media starlet was reportedly seen in Stourton today (Wednesday) as she made her way through the region as part of her Hardest Road Home cycling challenge.
TV and radio host Zoe was into day three of the BT Sport Relief Challenge which is taking her from her birthplace in Blackpool to her hometown of Brighton.
A spokesman for Sport Relief confirmed the presenter, who hosts Strictly Come Dancing’s sister show It Takes Two, passed through Stourbridge at 2.30pm before heading out into the Worcestershire countryside where she was snapped in Blakedown.

Joined by fellow Strictly Come Dancing comrade Harry Judd, she was today making her way from Upton Magna in Shropshire to Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire.
She said of the experience so far: “It’s now easier to be on the bike than not.
"Getting on and off the saddle, taking the gear off - it’s becoming really tough. Yesterday was the hardest day for me, with lots of hills but the support was just incredible.
“We went past a nursery and all the kids were at the side of the road, going ‘Zoe, Zoe’ and they were just amazing.
"I’ve also just heard that the money is going up – which I really appreciate.
“I am also getting through some serious calories. People are even bringing out pies and cakes to us wherever we are.”
She was later seen arriving in Stratford - having completed the third leg of the journey from Upton Magna, Shropshire.
