Zoe Balls Daughter Joins Family ADHD Diagnosis

has revealed that her 16-year-old daughter Nelly has - and is the third member of their family to have been diagnosed. 

Radio DJ Zoe, 55, and her son Woody, 25, also have the behavioural condition defined by inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. 

Zoe shares her two children with her ex husband Norman Cook, better known as DJ Fatboy Slim.

In a new interview with The Mirror, Zoe said that Nell is now on medication which helps her at school.

She said: 'I always bang on about having ADHD. It's been by learning about their situation and how they cope with things, deal with things, that I've learned about my own.

'I can see why Nell might live in chaos and her clothes are everywhere. But she started doing a thing now where every Sunday night, she will give herself a couple of hours – tidy her room, get her stuff ready for school, put her things away, have a nice shower.

'And I've loved seeing her find this for herself. I'm like, 'yes.' You kind of realise in the chaos, you appreciate how much a bit of order really helps. That's what I've tried to do in my life.'

Zoe first revealed her own ADHD diagnosis in December 2023. 

Back in 2024 Zoe's son Woody revealed that ADHD has helped him become a better DJ, following his debut the previous month. 

He said the condition has now become his 'unique selling point' as he moves around so much behind the decks, he stands out from other DJs.

Woody told the Daily Mail: 'Having  has contributed to my style. I've always jumped around a lot as a person'.

'I was contemplating calling myself Monkey Man as a DJ, by me letting go, it allows the audience to feel it too'.

He explained: 'I've become at one with the DJ and the hype man and this inbetween phase, ADHD has really helped with that'. 

'As a DJ you're a performer, you're not just there to stand there and I think there's definitely part of my set where the crowd moves because I do.'

Woody started DJing during lockdown in bid to entertain himself and his friends when nightclubs were shut.
