Zoe, 54, stood down as she revealed she wanted to focus on family after her mother Julia passed away from cancer.
Now, just a few months on from her departure, The Sun can exclusively reveal that she has bagged herself a top new TV role.
Zoe has signed up to be one of the stars on the next run of the BBC show Who Do You Think You Are?
The show follows celebrities as they trace back their past and to learn more about their ancestry and their heritage.
An insider told The Sun: “Zoe comes from a famous family but not much is known beyond that.
“She was really excited to get be asked to the do show and is really looking forward to seeing what they find.”
Who Do You Think You Are declined to comment when approached by The Sun.
The new TV venture comes just days after it was revealed that the star, once the second highest paid BBC star, was working “at her local cafe”.
She reunited with her ex-husband Norman Cook for the shifts after escaping London for a cosier life in leafy Sussex.
Her son Woody Cook, who starred on Channel 4 show The Circle, told the MailOnline: “In the last five years, it’s been funny watching my parents take up gardening both of them.”
“These crazy party people I grew up with are now gardening, making puzzles and working in the local café,” Woody said.
“It’s very funny to see that transitional period, just as I’m kind of leaving the nest and now at the start of something big for me in music.”
Zoe and musician Fatboy Slim – real name Norman Cook – were married from 1999 to 2020.
The DJ and record producer owns the Big Beach Cafe in Hove and is often seen working there wearing a name badge reading: “Norm.”
