Fatboy Slim: marriage to Zoe Ball better than ever after cheating “blip”

Norman Cook, aka Fatboy Slim, has revealed his marriage to Zoe Ball is “happier than ever”, despite a “blip” three years ago when Zoe cheated on him with DJ Daniel Peppe.

Norman told New magazine: “It was just a little blip. It happens in tons of marriages. Zoe calls it her ‘mad period’. She said something just went ‘ping’ and she didn’t want to be a mum and thought she wanted something else.”

“I think Zoe-gate when we split up was the worst thing. It’s bad enough going through marital problems in private, but when it’s public, it’s so much worse.”

“Since the blip, we’ve been happier than ever. Both Zoe and I have kind of taken our foot off the pedal a bit.”

“I have a 10 day rule where I won’t go away for more than 10 days as that’s when I get really homesick for Zoe and [five year old son] Woody.”
