CHRIS EVANS' replacement as morning host at BBC RADIO 2 will be ZOE BALL.  EVANS, who recently announced his pending departure from RADIO 2 to join VIRGIN RADIO, announced BALL's appointment on WEDNESDAY morning's show.

BALL, who has been hosting a SATURDAY afternoon show on RADIO 2 and also hosts BBC 2's "STRICTLY: IT TAKES TWO," is RADIO 2's first female breakfast host; she was RADIO 1's first female breakfast host as well when she joined that station in 1997.  SARA COX, another contender for the morning slot, will serve as BALL's fill-in.
